From the Shell site:

Shell V-Power is also a high performance fuel (99 RON) designed to help you get the most out of every drop. Shell V-Power is formulated to reduce friction between the cylinder and piston rings, a critical area of the engine where lubrication is difficult to achieve. It's designed to help the engine turn more freely, and so help transfer energy from the fuel to the wheels more efficiently.

If I recall correctly, the former Shell Optimax was 98Ron but V Power 99.

Tesco is also 99RON but 50% of the Tesco fuel mix is made up of cheap french wine and vodka....apparently..... :grin:
