Shell V-power Racing

[ziad]

i havent had a chance to use it a lot, about 1/2 tank, but in the evo it felt like it had lot more torque low down esp off boost, but strangely felt not as powerful as normal optimax over 5.5k revs

[phunky_monkey]

are u sure the v power is the new "optimax extreme" ?

i always thought the v power stuff was red at the bowser and is the replacement for normal optimax and that optimax extreme was still called that and avaiable

V-power racing is the new extreme

V-power is the new optimax

Personally I wouldn't be running it in my highly tuned import without a proper tune for it or had it checked on the dyno, but hey, to each their own

Ziad - what do you get to a tank?

I'm sitting just below 1/2 with about 280km on the trip meter.

Will run it in the car at Wakefield next week too - see how it goes.

james, i dont know, as the car is at panel beaters hence the half tank. the tank\guage is not even, it will generally go slowly but after it reaches half it drops down quickly. on normal optimax i was getting about 13l\100k on general driving with a few squirts. u must be really babying it or a lot of freeway. i got about 8-9l\100km on my trip from sydney.

pretty sure its normal for petrol gauges to fall slowly at first, then quicker later on into the tank...

something about the way the sender works I believe

mine works the opposite way

people should just get the brochure on the new v-power fuel, it says that there is a new friction modifier added and thats it....IMO still a marketing exercise

The V-Power branding has been about for ages O/S...i doubt there is much new about it although they reckon it is...as it happens I had the 100RON in today when it was tuned...seems to go ok..my clutch doesnt though.

I'll see if I can get an electronic copy of the MSDS for the fuels, as they have the breakdowns of what compounds are used in them.

Just telll the service station guy you need an MSDS so that you can carry a jerry can in a work vehicle. Clever trick for wehn ppl dont want to tell you whats in their product

[FINER6]

MSDS?

[Mr. Oizo]

MSDS?

as if the poor (insert indian/pakistani) console operator knows what a MSDS would be ;-), esp in independent servo

Agree that it's a marketing exercise. Disagree that we should read brochures - that's the marketing...

I would like to find out what the MSDS says and what some car tuners think from tuning experience
