Confirms new Shell V-power replacing Nitro+ is still 99 RON. So will continue to use Shell!
Thank goodness cos I’ll be blowed if I can find it again. :shock:

:lol: That video would be sufficient reason for me to by-pass Shell garages and seek out an alternative, regardless of my fuel gauge reading!

Agreed, how dumbed down; that video is the pits! However love the fuel and knowing somone who has worked 40 years in fuel research I must admit Shell V power is about the best you can get - why scrimp? I use Shell when I can, but dip into Tesco ( ethanol boost!) or other fuels that are higher octane when Shell is not available( few in my area).

8-) I got a bit of stick for ordering it, but as I knew I would, I see it quite frequently. 8-)
