New Shell V-power Nitro

Has anyone else noticed any issues with how your engine runs when using Shell's new V-power Nitro (99)? And is there anything that can be done to remedy it without having to go for a remap?

I'll have a look thanks. I've noticed a loss in response time and can feel a little lumpy when pottering around.

Been using it on all 3 impreza`s and had no trouble at all and i think it was only a rebranding excercise anyhow.

No, and neither was the one before that (Optimax) They've had a rating of 99RON for years!

Felt no difference what so ever and my car has been mapped twice, once on the old V-power and again using V-power nitro. But personally i wouldn't use another fuel apart from V-Power.
