V for VTEC

 

Vroom

 

Yup, should be called Super-Unleaded like they all used to.

 

all SUL should be called just that. If RON is different then they should just post this on the pump.

 

Don't know if they seel it over here, but in Italy and France they were also flogging V Max diesel at the pumps.

 

the V-max diesel is 10% more expensive than the regular shell diesel.. they are putting a big marketing campaign behind the Audi Tdi le mans win.. i.e. they use V-max to win le mans. I have a company shell card so makes no difference if I use V max or not.. haven't noticed any benefit for the car though

 

I used V max diesel in the vectra (sorry I know you don't like swearing) last year while in Italy it was dearer but I got a much higher mph and the car went better (for a v****** diesel)

 

I read on another board that it will be 99RON....don't know how much truth there is to that.

 

I was listening to a shell oils motorsport expert ,speaking on the tv yesterday .

He was saying that in Aus , they have a "Optimax Extreme " which contains 5% ethanol .

He did say it could be added in that ratio to creat a higher performance mix

 

It did say somewhere on the shell site...


I think its 100 ron... they were teasting it in a few petrol stations in the UK mostly in the south east area...



BP are also bringin out a new fuel that is 102 ron, and street legal (obviously) and that will eventually be available at all bp garages...

102 ultimate
