Shell V-Power Racing!

[xenonkuraz]

Hi guys. I've just heard about this 100 Octane petrol. I've always been using the normal V-Power.

If anyone has used it, how does it compare? Is it worth upgrading to?

Thanks :wave:

make sure u check whether ur car is compatible on honda website before using any ethanol based petrol, as some of the older honda's has not yet been tested on ethanol based petrol

vpower racing has ethanol in it IIRC.....

most hondas should be able to handle some ethanol, personally i'd stay away

[mku01]

wasn't there some guy that posted about these a while ago?? something about vpower racing making his integra gsi feel a trillion percent quicker coz his vtec hits hard after using it or something???

if you drive a dc5 go for it... as for dc2, don't do it

I drive a 95 DC2 Vti-R.

I've been using V-Power for about 6 months.

Ethanol is an alcohol, which is distilled from fermented agricultural crops such as wheat and sugar cane. In some cases, it is then blended with petrol in various concentration levels.


Ethanol and your Honda
The following Honda vehicles may be operated using fuel containing up to 10% ethanol (E10):

Accord
2003 onwards
Civic (including Hybrid)
2004 onwards
Integra
2002 onwards
Legend
2007 onwards
Odyssey
2004 onwards
Accord Euro
2003 onwards
CR-V
2003 onwards
Jazz
2004 onwards
MDX
2003 onwards
S2000
2004 onwards


Other Honda vehicles were not designed or tested with E10 and therefore the long-term effects are not proven.

Ethanol contains less energy value than petrol. In theory, some loss of power and fuel economy (possibly 2-3%) may occur when using E10.

V-Power contains no ethanol, however V-Power Racing (Upgrade from Shell Optimax Extreme) contains 5% ethanol.
