Shell V-power Is Back!

its 98.... it will aleays be differant each time you get it. besides, how many refineries are there in nsw?????

don't forget that even tho v-power is back it is cuurently being imported from Singapore to meet the current demand.

the refinery is still down for their scheduled maintenance, which is carried out every 4 years.

So this v-power being imported from Singapore doesn't affect it quality wise does it?

Or is it just a shittier 98 premium petrol being labelled as v-power?

apparently it is meant to be the same quality that is why they import it 2 replace the current one

but its any1s guess as to whether or not it really is what they say it is. my personal stance is that id b sceptical on the quality but i havent had the chance 2 fill up wit it yet

exactly there is f**k all difference between v-power. S8000, vortex98 and ultimate. you will get just as wide a variance just filling up at the same station after different deliverys. all of the common 98RON fuels availabl in sydney are pretty much on par and as Dave pointed out nearly all of it comes from the one refinery.

the V-power racing 100RON contains 5% ethanol so it may give you a slightly leaner mixture. I have also been told that it is a more highly oxegenated fuel than the others which will lean your AFR even further but we are not talking huge changes here so unless your car is tuned right on the edge then there will be no problem. and if you car is tuned a little too 'fat' then you will most likely pick up a small amount of power from the slightly leaner AFR.
