Came across this article this morning. http://www.wset.com/story/29216676/new-shell-v-power-nitro-premium-gasoline-consumers-benefit-from-100-year-fuels-heritage
I have used V-power in my cars for a while as all of them seemed to run better and get better mileage with it. Anyone have any experience with this new stuff yet?

Crazy that you posted this as I came across a station with this new gas. I had a half tank left but filled up anyway. Ill let you know if there is any difference.

We've had it in the UK for what must be over a year. Just a rebrand IMO

That's what the press release sounds like to me...
I got a pewter dongle thingy in a nice case from Shell back in April announcing the arrival of this new gas. My city mileage has gone down slightly, but my highway milage has gone up. I'm getting just over 500km/tank driving Ottawa->Toronto.

My tank was empty and I filled up the S4 two days ago with the new Shell V Power Nitro Plus for shits and giggles... I just had to prove to myself that it was a total marketing scam.. To my surprise I truly believe I detected a slight increase in responsiveness. I have nothing accurately base my findings on but my butt dyno. Nonetheless, I will fill my tank up with something different next fuel up to see if she runs as well and report back..
