Greek Optimax called V Power is only 95 RON In other countries in Europe V Power is 99 RON. It came from Shell Greece's mouth. So if anybody comes to Greece with their scoob and Ive seen a few STIs from the UK here, don't use the V Power.

I don't think Aussie Optimax is the same as UK optimax, I don't think the UK stuff is even the same as the Shell equivalent in other European countries.

Well according to the article, Aussie Optimax is 98.4 RON whereas we are quoted 98.6 RON. So the test results are pretty relevent (sp?).

John F, the guy in the article, any relation?
