Shell V-Power

[JCviggen]

100+ insane! Who'd have thought the French would get the best octane fuel...

In Germany V-power is 100 octane, but I always preferred Aral 100 as it was just...better. Whilst a bit cheaper too. Recently Aral have started rating it at 102 RON. Sounds about right from experience if the Shell is 100. And the 102 is still cheaper than V-power.

So I always go for Aral in Germany, its the best quality stuff out there. There is a pump near the Nordschleife too.

I think I would lose the saving by driving out to Germany to fill up, I will stick to V power in England and get my points as they make prizes or money off the next fill up

it differs smetimes 15 eurocents per liter...

So that's (give or take) €10 per fill up... so how much will engine damage cost you?
I must be missing the point here. I fill up with V-bastard or Tesco 99, ONLY. Yo 'all do what you want.

In Germany they have VPower Racing ... 102octane

When I was there in 2009 it was 1.50e a litre!! That made for an expensive road trip!!

would i cause damage when you use ron 95?
when you floor it on a daily basis perhaps yes...
Then they shouldnt diplay ron 95 on the innerside of the fuelfill cover...

Like I said, it's your car, do as you please. If you damage your engine using 95 RON then that sticker inside the filler flap isn't going to rebuild your motor for you.
If fact, that sticker is useless, I'm going to rip it out to save some weight and get better MPG.

But how can i say if i put 98 in my car, if its really 98, i cant control it, i think there are stations which make a profit of that saying its 98 but actually it is maybe just 95 while paying for the more expensive 98...

We will never know.

More Airmiles with Shell V-Power than Tesco Momentum

Glad I bought LPG RS6 as only 60p litre and 500bhp. LPG octane rated 105

[Cornishmoocher]

i could tell you the difference between 95 and 99.
fuckin easy. one the car ran like <beep> and the other it ran like a dog with scolded bolloxs. i always knew when the war office had put 97 in mine.

[Cornishmoocher]

Besides.... of your car is mapped... its probably mapped using 99 or 100 fuel. so if you run it on 95....... Like Bam says... your car.... cant understand why you would spend 000000's on a car then stick <beep> in the tank meself. But hey..... whadda i know.
