No issues at all, your car is mapped to 99ron fuel, any 99+ fuel will be ok (although BP Ultimate appears to make Imprezas even std ones run like crap).

let me remember,are yes first there was optimax,V power with improved chemistry,and now we have Nitro.its just smart marketing to add another five pence per litre at the pumps.shell has been doing this for years and it works because they know how the car modified brain works,if it gives more power you got to have it and they know this.where can i fill up?

Seems to be 2p cheaper in West Brom, not sure if price of petrol has come down this week.
There is a leaflet at the till, as said above its basically Optimax 3.

I filled up it had about a quarter of normal v power and it seems to run fine they had it in the shell in Mitcham same price as normal v power but not at ever pump but if they keep both what's the betting the price will go up at some point it says it's still 99 octane plus nitro which helps clear it engine thus gaining /restoring any power lost

Yes got feeling its a ploy to phase out v power for a more over priced fuel . With inc of possible 2 Ron . Tried Tesco momentum at high revs other night it does seem to push harder at the upper 6/7 thousand rpm could feel gearbox protesting a little .

That video is priceless... I mean if Jake Humprey's "Shell Nitro + Ambassador" says its good then why would we ever doubt it! He is afterall an ex F1 presenter so must know his fuels!

Filled up today, no noticeable difference although the forecourt guy assured me I'd get better fuel consumption. That'll be nice then. I still have to stand and think before refueling though - which bright spark at Shell thought it was clever to have diesel and petrol V-Power pumps side by side and exactly the same colour?

most pumps will still have std v power in the tanks as there not going to chuck away 10.000+ gallons of v power

The way I see it is, I run V Power anyway so if this new Nitro stuff is to replace it, a few improvements can only be a good thing. Will I benefit it in anyway, maybe..but either way I will continue to use it!
