This still sounds more like a marketing ploy than anything. What happened to V-power?

Don't see why not. As long as it meets the octane requirements you should be fine. Shell has always been good gas.

From what I've read, all gasoline additives have a nitrogen atom in the molecule anyway. So ALL gasolines are "nitrogen enriched." No telling if this is an actual new additive, or just V-Power with a different name. But yeah, no issues running this in an S2000.

Used QT (quicktrip) apparently alot of places dont have them, but they have 'guaranteed gasoline' plus they are really cheap, so when it was like $4.50 a gallon, i always went there, and would have idle problems here and there, decided to chunk out the extra .30 a gallon and get shell now everytime, no problems anymore!

you get what you pay for

to the OP question, i think its just marketing, people hear the word 'enriched' and think its way better for the car! i wouldnt really think anything about it
