Should be available by today. Have anyone tried it yet? QUOTE Subang Jaya, 23 November 2006
Shell V-Power Racing, the high-performance fuel used by Ferrari in Formula One (F1) races, will be available from tomorrow, at more than 300 Shell stations within Peninsular Malaysia to motorists who desire power and exhilaration from their driving experience. As the first in Asia to launch, the new Shell V-Power Racing has ninety-nine per cent of the components found in the fuel used in Ferrari cars during F1 races and is designed to give that immediate acceleration, response and sustained power.
Contrary to popular belief, not all fuels are the same. Shell V-Power Racing is the only high-performance fuel in Malaysia and is a result of close to 60 years of Shell's partnership with Ferrari. This long-term collaboration has helped Shell advance track performance fuels that have enhanced consumer fuels.
"Shell's unrivalled expertise and exclusive partnership with Ferrari has enabled us to provide Malaysian motorists, the same power we have harnessed from our experience at the F1 race track," declared Tuan Haji Mohzani Abdul Wahab, Managing Director, Shell Trading (M) Sdn Bhd. Source |

Maybe worse as they do not boast about mileage with this one.  I wonder what it will do for a Superbike?  Guys look at this: http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?siteId...ut_ga_1602.htmlIt seems it has 100 RON!! This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Nov 24 2006, 12:04 PM |

5% Ethanol... Ethanol Petrol in the US is heavily subsidised... Shouldn't it be less power?  |

Ethanol has a very high octane(more than 100). Any ethanol powered car can be more powerful than a conventional petrol car.
I think if you have a Turbo this V-Power Racing would benefit you greatly. Who the hell needs 100 RON?

MTT use cheaper diesel. High octane Petrol burns more progressively, not suitable for a gas turbine engine. But I wonder what effect it would have on it? A 1000cc SBK usually have CR of about 12, it would be great for them!! Oh yeah and regarding price. Well it is cheaper since you get it from sugar. |

Who the hell needs 100 RON? dudes driving JDM K20A Type Rs would need it to properly be able to whack the car to the engine's full potential. coz thats the fuel requirement for those engines.... some of my friends who uses the DC5 or EP3 before this if they wanna whack they had to pour Blue V Power AND octane booster. without the octane booster there will be pinging. but still driveable on normal daily driven basis...aka low rev. |

Well those "sporty" cars would benefit from them.
I think this opens up a door for more tuners out there. At last they don't need to be scared of pinging. When driving on the road, they'll have the comfort of knowing that there will be places where they can fill up with high octane fuel.

I also forgot to add, in addition to JDM cars, all those who has done conversions (GSR, EVO, B16A/B/C, B18C, etc etc) will also need RON100. They are afterall driving JDM engines. So there's actually a rather large crowd with every converted car needing or rahter, been thirsty for it for a long time. |
