Any used it? Never heard of it before getting my online Shell V Power points update.

 

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!

 

I've been trying to find where to buy it so I can give it a try but there's nothing specific to Nitro+ on the online station locator at the moment.

Had the same email is this an up grade to v power? Gimic yes/no?

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

 

Anyone know the Octane value? I'm guessing its a re-branded V-Power.

 

From what i read on MLR its the same 99 octane, but not sure doesn't say on shell site,

In the magazine it said 102 octanes, but the technician in the team I was with said it must be 10% ethenal or somthing!

 

have they said where its gonna be sold yet? or is it gonna be a london only thing?

 

As usual...

To be fair though, the traffic is moving so fast in London there will be such an advantage for the users.

 

We HAD two Shell stations here.

Now we don't have one within 30 miles. We are now reliant on the customer service kings to provide us with Momentum...when they can be bothered to GET any.

 

Be interested to see what the actual octane rating is, that information I thought was supposed to be available at the pump/kiosk.

 

just filled up, flyer there giving out says its still 99 octane and designed to reduce friction in critical engine areas, what ever that means lol

 

I just filled up with it (Barrow-in-Furness) can't feel any difference (as expected)

 

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!

 

Price compared to V-Power?

 

According the leaflet ive been given this morning its going to replace v-power, its 99 ron and there will also be a deisel v-power +. According to shell this is the improved v-power!!!

 

Is that shell on Abby road? Or ulverston?

 

£1.439/ltr from the receipt.

 

Abbey Rd

 

Probs just missed you at the garage then, just got back in the house now and only live round the corner

 

What Scooby you got John?

 

looked at my statement and according to it i have already filled up with nitro+ and my van with nitro + diesel .....think its just a gimmick or name change for v

 

I've just filled up and then I went for a short (25 mile) cruise and blast.

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.

 

Blue blob sti. Silver turini wheels.
Which ones yours???

 

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

 

No, that's our job!

 

My car's mapped to V-Power, so will running this new stuff cause any issues?
