Wez Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Never heard of that, having a quick look online there is no info on the Shell website that I can see, only normal V Power, maybe its just rebranding Some info but not from a UK site :- The new Shell V-Power Nitro+ line consists of three fuel products: V-Power Nitro+ Gasoline (replacing Super Premium), V-Power Nitro+ Racing (replacing V-Power), and V-Power Nitro+ Diesel (replacing V-Power Diesel). The two main selling points of V-Power Nitro+ are its powerful cleaning action and its instant-acting friction modifiers. According to Shell, V-Power Nitro+ Gasoline boasts "an increased level of friction modifiers, designed to improve performance and to act instantly on the cylinders, the heart of the engine. Friction modifiers are developed to reduce friction in critical engine areas, helping the engine to deliver more power." V-Power+ Racing, meanwhile, is the top-of-the-line Shell gasoline. "It is able to deliver further performance benefits in octane-responsive vehicles," Shell says. Lastly, V-Power+ Diesel is said to have been "designed to restore and maintain engine power through active engine protection," Shell explains. "It has powerful detergent technology developed to help prevent and clean up power-robbing diesel injector deposits. It is also formulated to protect engines against corrosion."

charlton Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Which petrol station in Surrey did you use, Smithy? Will be making a trip there when I get my Supra back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Just heard an advert on the radio for this. Sounds interesting anyway, I wonder how much they will charge for that. I remember BP had something like that out a few years back super unleaded 101ron and I think it was £2.50 a litre in Milton Keynes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Waste of money if you don't really need it and how many really need it Can imagine it will be a daft price as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 well it will be replacing v power so people will put it in instead of the cheap fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Tesco momentum does me. That's still 99ron that new V power will be an arse raping in the pocket likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 so it wouldnt be anywhere near the usual price of v power? if its too expensive they will loose alot of customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 i bet its the same old v power just with another additive so cost could well be similar depending on what additive cost is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) I have just filled up at the Exeter Shell with the Nitro+ stuff The new Fuel is 99Ron and it was £1.44.9:p a litre down here, so still about the same as it was before It apparently has better cleaning agents and friction reducers in it according to the leaflet Edited April 18, 2013 by DodgyRog Edit for the picky members (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Strangely, having read this thread this morning I needed to fill up and found myself doing so with this new fuel. Weird. As mentioned, turns out it's around £1.40-odd a litre. Annoyingly, Shell sent me an email about 2 hours after I'd refuelled offering me money off if I top up from now. Grrrrrrr...!

scotty71 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Launch date for this fuel is the 18th - I know a guy who runs a shell station. As stated it has better cleaning agents/friction reducers and is in fact 99.787 Ron - give or take an odd .001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 It IS the 18th...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
