vvtirob Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Nitro+ Racing is 102RON, the V-Power Nitro+ is 99 RON and just has 25% more friction modifiers and cleaning agents in it. My mates A5 was run bone dry and filled with a jerry can and topped up at the petrol station - MPG went up 7mpg round town and at 70 on the motorway, pulled 38mpg instead of a usual 32mpg. Responsiveness - according to him, was a hell of a lot more different too, though he noticed, when giving it some pasty, he got slightly less than he normally would. It seems like a balancing game. Use the fuel and drive it steady, you'll save more fuel than with regular V-Power. Banking saved MPG during a run means if you are partial to giving it some pasty every now then, it'll just balance it out - but the fuel IS reported to be a much better fuel to use to keep critical engine parts cleaner and free up friction issues. V-Power Nitro+ will be replacing all V-Power pumps in all major garages first (Those closest to motorways and A roads I assume?) and will cost the same (supposedly) for the foreseeable. They've already replaced the fuel up at the M18 Shell I believe, so I'm going to fit the Rad today and since I did 24 miles on the red light, it'll be high time to fill up, will let you guys know what I find, or something!

LiamGTR Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 It's EXACTLY the same as V-Power in terms of RON, but apparently the 'MON' is up by 0.5, whatever that means. So anything people claim to feel is placebo since they're literally the same thing with a few things added for CLEANING, not performance. Good marketing tactic, well done Shell.

sadlebag Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 The MON is an additive that helps to lubricate the bores to help the pistons move up and down more freely, this is how they "claim" to get more horse power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Can never have too much lubricant Edited April 20, 2013 by LiamGTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris CW Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 a few things added for CLEANING, not performance Cleaning will aid performance though, otherwise why bother cleaning it in the first place Dynodaze seem to do a lot of testing with fuels so will be interesting to see what their verdict is, if their is any difference that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoob Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Filled up today at my local shell with this. Car seems to like it. A little more responsive on a long drive. Edited April 20, 2013 by zoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobir Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Iv used about 25 litres of the nitro v power, does feel slightly more responsive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 It was only 140.9p!! @ Shell Newcastle so I put £50 in, so the car feels pretty slugish at the minute to feel any difference Never again will I go from driving on vapors to nearly a full tank ('Teg tank is pretty small - £50 done me).

mooey65 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 For you lot that only use 99ron for a tank or to and say its the same try a few more tanks you will not feel it until you go back to 95ron.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherv Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 We've had a shed load of tests with 'ultra' fuels,the old Ford boys have done it loads of times as well and they only people that seem to get any advantage performance wise are Forced Induction cars,the Cossie YB powered cars saw an improvement,and as previously said especially the GT4s,JDM models in particular that have been run from new for x years on 102 RON over in Japan.Generally speaking you wont get anything from the 99 RON stuff in your n/a Celicas,other than the fact its a good fuel and the additives that are present in the stuff wont do your engine any harm at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
