as someone working inside the company....all i can say is it will use different additives than primax95....refinery still same...no change...

shell fuelsave95 and primax95 used the same source of of "base" oil....came from the same refinery & pipeline....the difference is just the additives....

as for shell fuel with vpower additives....that one came strictly from their refinery....that vpower additives formula is very "precious" and they don't want people to steal their "trade secret"....

sorry bro sinister_sid, your logic is flawed....ron95 & ron97 is different because of the octane rating....some engines out there were tuned & optimised to use higher octane fuel....

if your engine is already optimised to run on ron95....there's no point you spending extra money on ron97 for a small (maybe negligible) performance gain....

i can assure you is not a gimmick since it used a new (and different) additives compare to primax95....if it sell at rm1.90/l, why don't you give a shot....nothing to lose since the price is regulated....if you don't like it just revert back to your preferred brand....

no harm paying the same price to "feel" even better
anyway, i still prefer vpower....
hope that shell will introduce vpower95 to defend their market share...
so it's a winning situation for us consumers (provided price still rm1.90/l)
