Was filling up at Shell the other day and grabbed the green "Unleaded 95" pump, the same exact pump I've used heaps of times. Was about to start pumping and then I thought wait a minute, did I see something different? So I looked again and the green pump has a little orange sticker next to it warning that the fuel contains ethanol. Hmmm, the green pump is now "Unleaded E10".

So that's dodgy number one, they should have used a different colour for a new fuel.

Dodgy number two is the pricing, the E10 was 104 when other stations were selling standard unleaded for 104. Shell's standard unleaded was 108!

So just a heads up for those that are used to grabbing the green "Unleaded 95" pump to pay careful attention.

 

you put unleaded in your s2k??

 

Well you wouldn't put leaded in.

 

dont be suprised , i know a few petrol station owners who put regular unleaded into the tanks of Premium . So its not only shell doing it.

 

If I fill up at Shell, I put in Unleaded 95, which is 95RON and perfectly acceptable for an S2000.

 

Is it just me or is Shell V-power 20c more than their standard fuel?? where as every other company only has their premium fuel at 10c more??

Could just be me though....

 

Well the other night it was 104c for E10, 108c for unleaded and 120c for VPower, so 12c premium.

I think that's the same premium Mobil charge.

 

v power i dont really feel a difference on the butt dyno lol i really think mobil premium 8000 is good fuel

 

Ethanol does not make it cheaper - http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleD...leID=59627&vf=2

 

That's what makes Shell selling it for the same price as the station next door's unleaded even worse.
