V Power nitro

[mitchell197]

Had mine in since Wednesday, it does seem to sound a bit ruff, but, performance feels the same.

 

[Mardgee]

No difference what so ever its the same stuff in half the tanks anyway.

Anyone know if this is still 99RON?

 

[Willis]

Just a rebrand of V-Power as far as I've been told by the local station.

Much like V-Power was a rebrand of Optimax a few years back.

Officially though, there's more cleaners/additives...

Well I've always been super sceptical about people saying they can feel one fuel is better than another but have always ran vpower in the 200 and I filled up with nitro the other day and its definitely different. Better mpg than normal vpower, exhaust sounds louder and car feels more eager.

 

[chettle]

Mines the same ^^ (apart from the MPG).... it also seems to pop and bang more often, and i never noticed it do on normal V power.....

its never been 99ron ?? :woody:

I've had it filled up for a week now, can see no difference whatsoever lol.

 

[Marv]

Used a couple of tanks now and the engine does sound a little big more sporty but that might just be a placebo effect. It certainly seems happier than on 95ron fuel

You will only ever feel a fuel octane difference on turbo cars, and not the poor excuse of a kangaroo engine we have fitted to our cars!

So NA cars never suffer from knock? It'd be impressive for a person to feel the difference in any car, I doubt you'd feel any difference in every FI vehicle either.

There's plenty of experience with people using 99 over 95 and finding them running better both cold and hot.

Wow you lot have try it already! Don't think I bother try it too, is old V-Power still about or been take over nitro?

 

[Scotty H]

[ryan197]

It has always been 99 ron

 

[Chrisgti6]

It has always been 99 ron

Yup, It was optimax (before v power) that was 98 ron i believe?

 

[Scotty H]

correct

 

[ben_r1]

Hmm wonder why it used to say V Power Ron 99 on the old pump stickers...? Ban yo'self!

Was kinda hoping the nitro version was going to be 100

 

[Mikeyjp]

bah lol! i thought it was 98ron

 

[ryan197]

I think its 98 ron in ireland

 

[M19TNR]

It's still the base V-Power were making.... the only difference is the extra additive they're putting in

So 99 RON
