Been reading the vwgti forum and believe that Shell with be launching a 98 octane fuel that will be available at the pumps? Anyone with further info?

Not sure of pricing though.

It's called Nitro V power or similar.

Will give it a try and see, should lower consumption in theory and thus may be worth the premium...

Yip, a couple weeks ago I stopped at Klerksdorp Ultra City, they were busy installing new tanks for 98.

New tanks...

That's a good sign...I wonder what the final premium on the normal fuel price will be ..
