I work for Shell and have done since 1997

Slightly higher rating yes

Other than that its for people to think they are going to go faster and further!

Muppet fuel

Interesting view, anything science backing your opinion or just your view?

+1

So are you disputing the results of a number of rolling road tests which show a clear power increase when using fuels like V-Power?

Here for example:  http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/tuning/Fuel_Test_Results_Update.shtml

Or even the much maligned Fifth Gear tests?

I was advised by the guys who remapped my car last year to run Shell VPower and have done so ever since.

I have heard some peeps dropping HP when they have changed to a lesser fuel although i cant confirm this.

So you have worked for shell since 1997 as a cleaner or till assistant , as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Please provide some more info to prove us wrong. Do you suggest I run my car on 95ron instead?  :grin:
