okay from Shell, vpower unleaded is finished today, replaced by vpower nitro plus, still a max of 5% ethanol type bio product, but sadly still only 99ron in the UK, price should be similar to before

Oh dear, is their marketing done buy 5 year olds? I've always like shell but I will be embarrassed to say I use shell nitro, rather than vpower. Thank god its staying the same though. No one else does fuel that good at the pumps and we have to run the rafe cars on pump fuel

its still good stuff though! I did wonder how they were pumping Vpower one day and Nitro the next? I suppose they will keep the price similar until all the stations in outlying area's like Invercockaleekie? have used up their vpower stock, then ramp the price or am I just being cynical :?:

mind you I think I am right in saying that this is the third incarnation of this product anyway :?:

I was advised they started filling station tanks with Nitro about a week before the marketing launch.
Don't suppose they can do much to hike the price as the competition is too fierce. Wait and see.

Yeah itll still be good stuff but its an embarrassing name haha. Or am I just being to high and mighty?

i topped up today with it. they have put the price up though. the standard shell was 130.9 and the vpower nitro stuff was £138.9. Im sure it only used to be 5p more than the standard stuff? As we run our race cars on it ill wait and see what the dyno says with regards to how good it is.

Hi there, I would have thought most of you would be using the best fuel out there for Porsches.

Currently 5p off VPower Nitro:
