Shell V-Power 99RON

Replaces Optimax, since my car is showing --- on the readout, gonna put a tank of this stuff in (and I always used Optimax before)
Anyone tried it yet ?

R.

Isn't it just Optimax with a new marketing name?

I notice that when I put it in my turbo it upsets the idling for a day or so before settling to normal. Anyone else had similar experiences?

Apparently it's 99RON, not that anyone will notice, virtually all engines setup for 98.

I brimmed mine yesturday, previously having used Optimax, and haven't noticed any difference (yet).

I can only imagine they've discovered an addative that makes it cheaper to manufacture, and happens to increase the RON rating, hence the swap from Optimax!

Just got home to find a present in the post - my new V-Power card to replace my Optimax card. I obviously spend too much on fuel... also comes with a booklet of marketing lingo. Short version: was 98 octane, now 99.

... and I just found out that I have 16,000 Plus Points! I really do use too much fuel

[911addict]

And I've only got 3 points.
Oh, different points!!
