Normal unleaded =95ron Super-unleaded or premium = 97ron BP ultimate =98 i believe. Shell v-power and Tesco momentum = 99ron just about everywhere sells premium unleaded 97ron. Shell probably don't because they sell 99ron.

You can just picture the in car conversation during mapping sessions from now on.
"I want massive boost, unreal torque, anti lag, flat foot shift and pops and bangs.....oh, and can I have a duel fuel map please too just in case things get squeaky again, I need to get better mpg ?" |

was speaking to a tanker driver who is from the sidc up at RA motorsport yesterday when we were getting mapped and he said that tesco momentum and shell v power come from the same gantry at the refinery the only difference is the additives they put in them.

That could be right, its quite probable that Vpower's ingredients has changed in over the years...I've seen some MSDS saying it contains ethanol, when beforehand it didn't.
Momentum has always been 5% Ethanol. (its main octane boosting ingredient). Whereas original Vpower was a blend of Toluene, Xylene and Trimethylbenzene (NO ethanol). So if Vpower is now Ethanol blended, technically anyone specifically mapped soley to run on "old" vpower should really have another remap to take into account the different oxygenates. This is why i say map for 97Ron...shell keep faffing about with their fuel blends (first Optimax, then Vpower, now V-power with Ethanol), and there is always an issue with supply (or lack of) when you can't find a nearby Shell petrol station with stock. So IMO its better to map the car so its not so picky. |
Ali, what month/year did Shell start selling V-P with the methanol in?
Was it before September 2011? If so, I'm alright then (as then was when my last V-P remap took place). :D |
