I get talking to the Engineers that do a lot of the initial testing of these fuels. The name V Power Nitro + has been in use in the US for some time already.

Dont know if its a placebo effect but i can definately feel the difference when filling up with v power or bp ultimate, both with the diesel and petrol, although im not rich enough to run my diesel on it all the time :( |

On 20th Apr, 2013 Cables69 said: a friend of mine drives a Diesel and started to use vpower after it hits the german market, so long ago. after some time he calculated if it's worth it. looking at the figures with regular and vpower diesel he found that the engine used a bit less vpower diesel nearly exactly to compensate the higher price. he thought the engine is running smoother so he sticks with vpower.
although im not rich enough to run my diesel on it all the time :( i even asked my mother to fill her petrol car with Shell 95 octane only and after some time she found that the car uses less fuel, too. same as my old Rover. so it may be not more expensive to use the more expensive fuel in the long run. and i'm not saying Shell is the only good one, my last Mini liked Aral fuel best |

Shell use all maner of OEM engines to test fuels and run many different tests using highly sophistocated data capture equipment that only multi billion pound companies like Shell can afford. Some tests run 24/7 for upto 3 months or more. One particulalr test uses a run of the mill, modern 4 cylinder petrol engine from one of the big name manufacturers. The fuel rail is split into two, and each of the two parts of the fuel rail is fed a different fuel, one could be anything, such as a cheap supermarket fuel, and the other the development fuel. The engine is run under load in an envirnonmentally controlled cell for the test duration (could be anything up to 3 months or more). Once the test is complete, the cylinder head is removed and the combustion chambers are scraped clean (this includes the piston crown and the back of the valves) and the carbon deposits weighed and measured. we have this facility at work its called the nocking shop and is where the lab set the ron for different distributors such as shell tesco ect great too have a look around and these guys know how to build engines they have to change piston rings and bearing before each test so that all variables are the same Done now needs redoing lol |

it'd be interesting to find out the % bio in it, we had a total station down the road (strangely enough its now a shell), and the super basically turned to water within days |

Shell V power was the fuel I used in the Metro. It was noticeably better that BP Ultimate. . . On Peter Baldwin's Rolling road he commented my engine loved lots of timing advance and was very powerful given the spec.
