Yer ill give it a try. I used Tesco Momentum 99 since V power was gone and im not sure why but i feel like there are more flat spots lower down the rev range compared to VEEPOWA!.
Will try the Nitro when in stock.

If only it contained actual Nitro... Nitromethane that is

So they have basically just watered down the fuel then

Whatever you put in that is not petrol is not good imo.

'Petrol' itself is a blend of many different distillates and additives. Sorry to be blunt but there's much more to it than the purist approach.

What a stupid name

They must be very, very proud of their 25% increase in friction modifier - they mention it twice within the four paragraphs

A chap I bought some V-Power off yesterday said that some garages had held back from ordering the 'old' stuff because they new the 'Nitro' was coming this week. This would explain why some of you couldn't get it.

Interestingly, he also reckoned that the new version had nothing to do with increased ethanol ratings - it stays at 5%.

From what I've read E10 will be rolled out clearly marked as a different product that may damage your car, and will gradually replace the regular/budget fuel. Premium fuels have been earmarked as staying as they are, ie. up to a maximum of 5% ethanol, luckily.
