95 with a mix
mix of what ?
usually a mix is added to increase octane

Sorry I mean exactly that.
Most probably going to be 95 mixed with an addictive making it 98 octane.

I cannot see that the law will allow this. Selling true 98 octane to the public over the "counter"

BUT...who knows? :rollsmile: I'm still excited to see what happens.

Rumours says it's coming August this year and South Africa will be the 14th country to get this V Power Nitro Plus

It's still 95 octane, just with the latest branding! It's an update to the V power formulation, with the latest in fuel development incorporated!

From what I read.....

That would be nice. But I just don't trust the petrol stations.
In my mind its just one big tank under the ground with some pumps with different labels sticking out.

Anything with NITRO in it's name will be welcome in my tank!! So this with 3 RON NF will essentially be 101 Octane? Sweet!!

So last night i saw the advert for this V-power Nitro fuel. Just wondering, has anybody actually seen or found this at the pumps yet? Ive tried googling it, but havent had much luck!

So good news. Every Shell i passed today in durban and surrounds all had the Nitro + flags flying, so i would think that its now available!

Thought we could start a thread to see what your take is on the new V Power Nitro fuel from Shell..

Has anyone tried it yet? Ive heard some good things so far, some friends have tried it and say there is a small improvement in engine response and power.

Shell say:

"After months of extensive testing, we have created our best performance fuel. Developed with Scuderia Ferrari, this new formulation is designed to instantly get to work in your engine on deposits which can reduce performance. We have also increased the friction modifier content by 25%*. The friction modifier is designed to reduce friction in critical engine areas, helping to deliver more power to the wheels. Put simply, this is Ferrari's choice for improved performance."

If you do try it please post your thoughts here :cool:
