| ![]() At the CBI Road,Ganganagar Shell Outlet-- there is a new system in place. Now, when you are in the queue ,A person comes and ask for the amount/quantity , Type (Super/Normal), petrol/Diesel and gives a Slip mentioninng the details. IMO, it is done to prevent Attendant filling super instead of normal petrol and charging you more which they were notorious for. You can then show the checklist and say what you had originally asked for. A good move. ![]() |

| ![]() Does anyone know of Shell V-Power. I went in to fill in my Red Baron this afternoon at the Shell pump on Bannerghatta Road and the gentleman there was saying that they will be launching Shell V-Power petrol in Bangalore in a couple of days time. Never asked him what the difference was between Shell Super and this, but wanted to know if anyone on this forum knew what this is about and if it was worth using on my HD Street 750. |

| ![]() Looks like Shell is getting ready to launch V-Power in Bangalore. I asked the pump attendant at Shell VM Road, and they confirmed that V-Power Petrol will be launched on 29th April. This is a Shell's premium fuel designed for performance. Super excited to fill up a tankful upon launch. |

It probably is 91 octane plus additives, but the final octane number would staill be 91. I went through the entire documentation on V Power on SHell India site and no mention of octane anywhere. It must be 91 octane itself. http://www.shell.in/products-service...xperience.html | |

So I assume its the same here as well, especially since the picture given in Shell Canada's webpage is the same ![]() http://www.shell.ca/en/products-serv...ll-vpower.html What V-power contains is given here in the FAQ, including the octane rating as 91: https://www.shell.ca/en/products-ser...power/faq.html Last edited by vinjosep : 28th April 2015 at 19:07. | |

| ![]() Since Shell already sells the Super, which is 91 RON with additives, my guess is that the V Power will be 95+ RON (which is what it is, worldwide AFAIK). Since BLR has a good number of superbikes, it should sell decently as well. Quote:
