It does look to be the fuel of choice. Have you read the article on the MoTeC site: http://www.motec.com.au/fueltest/index.htm

I know a few track day guys who are switching to it.

Yeah interesting facts, some good info. I actually saw that episode on the testing and since then have been looking for it.

Finally found it thanks to my old man who found it by mistake.

Thats why i think its good to list other locations for people who have been looking for it.

The car runs alot better.

Is that the first time you have used it, did you notice a difference.

[WazR32GTSt]

the locations are on the shell australia website, i remember looking ages ago when it first came out at the bowser

i fill up on coronation drive in milton

[rb20-into-mr30=]

southside, shell behind garden city shops kessels rd mt gravatt

[rb20-into-mr30=]

first time i used it i noticed it straight away, filled from empty .. top stuff!!!

[made_guy]

hmmm i always favoured shell stuff (optimax prior to v power) cos that's what they use for the v8 supercars (shell makes them one big batch at the start of every season and they all draw from the same batch to keep things stable) or at least they used to.

so when i bought my skyline (all of about 3 months ago) i took it straight to shell and filled her up and she felt great. but then the second tank felt like shit. so i switched over to caltext vortex with mixed results.

maybe i'll give shell another go....

edit: are all v-power's 100 octane?? i think, but can't be sure that the one i used was 98??? Hungry Jacks over the highway from mudgeeraba on the goldy if anyone knows.

yeah it is a bloody good fuel but i refuse to pay for them now...the price used to change as the pump price changes, but now because the market is so special, no matter how cheap the normal petrol is, the price for v power racing will be set at 145c per litre...rip off if you ask me..i can stay on V power untill the special occasion comes

to add the location,

Shell Albany Creek ( on the way to Mt Glorious :sorcerer: )

Shell on Coro Drvie neae Wesley Hospital

and yeah the fuel is great for my car been running on it for 3-4 months straight, only just came off to v power and already notice the diference..

[r33_racer]

v power racing ftw!

We use it solely in the race car. highest octane pump fuel available.

[CameronBNR32]

I buy at the Shell in Runcorn, just down the hill from the Calamvale Hotel heading towards Underwood, its good stuff!

Doesn't V racing mixed with ethanol? and are they harmful to the engine for older engines?

lol let the debate begin..

my answer is no..

[frankxinyu]

it will probally take 6-8 years for any effects to be shown

by then you will need a new engine any way

[r33_racer]

the ethanol is good in a way, as it cleans everything in the engine as it gets passed through. Its almost as good as having water injection except its in the fuel. However because its partially made up by ethanol the fuel isnt as dense and it also burns leaner, so when being tuned it needs to be richened up abit in comparison to normal fuel. By all means you should get a little less economy from a tank because of this. However it does have a higher octane rating, so it sort of works itself out. Think of it like methanol, it burns lean and cold, thats why you need to squirt 2.2 times as much over std fuel. But the octane rating of it is astronomical.

Thats how i see how the ethanol helps, whether its right or not is beyond me.

[mad082]

methanol octane is about 128, ethanlol is about 126. the only down side to a higher octane is that it makes it harder to ignite, that is why you can advance the timing with them.
