Shell V-Power 99RON in UK!

[Ross]

Reading the comments on the pistonheads forum, this stuff is already infiltrating the pumps across the UK! It seems like the Optimax brand is being replaced. Great stuff, as I filled up twice with this stuff on the trip to the 'ring and whilst I can't say it seemed any better than the Tesco's 99, i think the mileage was a little better.

Should be the same price as Optimax (a direct replacement at the pumps) and be 99RON instead.

Just filled my A4 quatsport with 'V-power' (98.9 in Leeds), looking forward to seeing how she pulls on my commute to Salford Quays early tomorrow morning... :mischeif:

Noticed it says it has 'Friction Modifiers as used in F1' Does this mean I get free nikasil bores?

My prayers have been answered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's about time you guys finally get access to decent performance fuel...

[AndersS2]

Scandinavia too baby!

We finally got it here to!
But at the cost of +1,21£ à litre

And i dont have been given the oppertunity to try it out yet

Got my V - Power club card in the post today cuz i apparently use over 300 litres a month

[dan_b]

Think I'll stick with the Tesco 99 and use the clubcard points to subsidise nappy purchases

[Ski]

yup filled up with V power yesturday.

Finally!

I noticed this advertised in Diss as the replacement to Optimax - I did wonder if this would prove to be the genuine thing or just another watered-down fuel. So if this is good stuff my prayers really have been answered, I won't need to make a nearly 60 mile round trip to Ipswich/Copdock Tesco just to get good fuel after all!!!

Same here.My local Shell has it. Mind, its £1.02 a litre

[Ski]

I think EVERY shell will have it. People in work filled up with it too.

I filled up at the salford station Jamo if that helps.

[Ski]

If its a replacement for optimax, that means they will no longer sell optimax. so every station that HAD optimax in theory should have V power.

V power.. what a name... i prefered optimax. its like.. Virtual Power.. makes u think u got more bhp than u have .. or V-Power the new playstation game OUT NOW!!
