Yeah cool and all but what about folks who don't need premium?

 

[sandorski]

Interesting, someone should run an exhaustive test on it though.

I just need them to quit putting bullshit ethanol in the fuel, premium enough for me if that happens.

this x100000000000000000000000000000. get the ethanol out of my damn fuel

Is it higher octane? If not it's worthless.

 

[Charmonium]

Is it higher octane? If not it's worthless.

From what I can find online, it seems to be 98 octane.

The rest sounds like bullshit. Reduces engine wear? What is this, the reincarnation of slick 50?

Thanks to the new Racetrack near me that's all I run now.

93/91 in the US. No joy for you tuners...

I would be thrilled just to have 93!

Sunoco or VP 100 unleaded please. $7.99 a gallon but it gets the job done never mind the c16 etc we used to put in our DSMs in the 90s

Does it have the ability to keep the valves of my DI engine clean? If so, I will probably buy it. Probably not though...

 

[Mark R]

V-power nitro plus, at least in Europe is 99 RON, 89 MON, 94 AKI.

The nitro+ is probably just marketing speak for amine detergents, probably a proprietary Mannich condensate, which are the best group of gasoline detergents available. A polyetheramine is also a possibility, but these are not terribly effective in GDI engines, so I wouldn't expect them in a new product.

 

[Yuriman]

From what I can gather, it looks like there are a lot more friction modifiers in the gasoline version.

This.

93 octane on the west coast would be nice. We get pisswater Cali 91 in Phoenix.

save your receipts in case there is a class action lawsuit.

That's impossible....

 

[Jimzz]

That's impossible....

But but... its "top tier" and it has what valves crave. :\

 

[NutBucket]

It's a DI engine. Explain how the detergents ever reach the top of the intake valves....

Well, you take a spray bottle and...

The valves crave its top tier magic formula. When you crave something you will find a way to get it, as will these valves.

 

[Phanuel]

And get out on the hood of your moving vehicle and spray (or spit) it in?

 

[thomsbrain]

Maybe it comes with a clean restroom?
