just wanna clarify, the red v power replaces the old blue v power OR they're selling two v powers together?

may not be 100 octane in malaysia's v-power racing. the additives may vary against region. of coz i hope it is 100 octane, as i am loyal customer of v-power.

Well, all we need is just get the JDM boys to try it. If they get more power, then we know it's the 100 octane that their engines are craving for. If it does not feel like anything, then it's the same old formula with a different colour.

It'll be replacing the Blue V-Power I think... Since the pricing should be the same.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, Shell did annouce that they are going to do a worldwide syncronisation of all their premium petrol into the same brand and same type.

Actually red is a lousy colour to pick for the expensive petrol..cos RON92 is also red in colour... some sneaky petrol stations might make it v power red + a bit of 92

Shell did not have any RED fuel (RON92) other than VPower Racing

All their fuel is red... or pink.. or merah jambu.. whatever you want to call it (except for V-Power). What he was talking about is that we can't tell the diff if some petrol kiosk 'campur' the new V-Power Racing with some RON92 fuel and we can't tell the diff.

Which V-power are you talking about? V-Power Blue or V-Power Racing Red?

this a quote from the whole article

QUOTE
The new Shell petrol continues to have a RON97 octane rating which Tuan Haji Mohzani said is regulated by the government. The price of RM2.15 is unchanged from before even though it is more expensive to produce than the previous V-Power. The extra cost of production is not entitled to the government subsidy which is why it costs more at the pump.


for the whole article, u can read it here http://www.motortrader.com.my/NUS/articles..._712/page_m.asp

I wonder if it'll bring any benefit to a stock 318i E30. I've never even tried VPower before. laugh.gif

Dang..I just pump primax 3 today. After this, I will try this new V-power on my B16A and see if there's any difference. But I doubt there will be any differences though. wink.gif
