    Shell V-Power

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    This week I noticed many Shell stations has alot of flags and decorations promoting the new V-power fuel. The flags reminds me alot of the fuel stations in Asia. Anybody tried the new lineup yet? I read something about V-power over in Europe or somewhere they up it to like 98 or 100 Ron from like 95. I havent fuel for 2 weeks since i havent driven my car alot lately, so soon head to Shell. It wasnt V-power 2 weeks ago.

    i doubt yu'll ever notice a difference. it's prolly only a change in 1/10 octane and that's not gonna be noticeable

    Don't forget about 76 and that being the officail gas of Nascar. Like originally posted, i bet its just a 1/10 oct. raise and a 10% price increase. I will try it out none-the-less.
