Was just going to start a thread asking the same question as I just had me points email.
Was not on the forecourt this morning as I had to fill up again. The joys of Scooby ownership!

Is this the track day fuel at 102 octane? I read it in a Le Mans magazine on Sunday and there's only going to be a few selected garages around the uk stocking it and I'm lucky to have 1 10 miles down the road

Pretty certain this is just V-Power re-branded as the 2 shell stations I've filled up at this week have both had the Nitro and no V Power. Both previously had V Power!

On a 2:1 mix V-Power Nitro+ to BP Ultimate (don't ask, I got caught short a couple of days ago!), I thought it gave a noticably smoother engine spin - as if my (forged 2.1) stroker was a little more balanced. Felt nice.
And it was around the same price per litre.
According to the staff at my local Shell garage, it's 99 octane and it's the new V-Power and it was offered at all pumps on the forecourt.
I'll be giving it a fuller run later this evening.

It's just a name change.
Still 99 octane. The woman in the garage said they've just added "stuff" to it.
I asked her if they'd added diamonds to justify the price.................Strangely she didn't laugh.

It's replacing V-power, and apparently went down pretty damn well in a high spec Supra http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=46879

Calm down peeps
It's just re branded V power with a few more chemicals added ( friction modifier ) to coat cylinder walls - it's marketing strategy to justify fuel increase at the pump / if you allready run V power ,, I vry much doubt you will see a differance ,, after all they havnt added anything to create a bigger stronger bang
