v-power has always been 99 ron.

i drive a near standard 2l focus mk1 and v-power definately makes a difference. smoother running, more power and better economy but to see the full benefits i'd need a remap.

oter benefits include cleaner engine inernals and better resistance to nock increasing engine life. 8)

V-Powers predecesor Shell Optimax was 98 RON, maybe that's what you're thinking.

In the United Kingdom and Denmark (where Super Unleaded must be a minimum of 97 RON), V-Power has a rating of 99 RON (whereas V-Powers' predecessor Shell Optimax was rated at 98 RON). There is one other 99 RON fuel available in the UK, namely Tesco Super Unleaded 99.
