There's no Power 99 (30 kms away / 1 hr 15 mins drive one way) or Speed 97 (21 kms away / 45 Mins Drive One way) outlet anywhere near my residence or office. However there are 2 Shell Bunks under 5 kms distance from my Location. Also FYI; ![]() Shell FTW ![]() | ||||

Jokes aside, you guys are really lucky to have got your hands on one. I have read somewhere that there are only 40 cars available. Hope you enjoy them to the fullest. Anyways do you guys plan to take your car for track days? I have a small question. Now that you have driven your car with these wheels, is there a noticeable increase performance and handling?

That’s overseas, not here in India. As with many other Foreign brands, Shell has conveniently used a known trademark but provides no information on what’s octane of V-Power here in India. From what I understand, it’s regular octane but with some additives. Last edited by Turbanator : 22nd March 2021 at 20:26. |

I was a tad surprised that US does not have fuel higher than 93 Octane rating and perhaps that was the reason that I never spotted any fuel higher than this rating on the road and I have done a fair bit of long road trips and filled from every brand out here They call it " Regular" "Mid-Grade" and "Premium". They kept it simple and I kind of like it this way instead of the confusing terminologies back home each brand uses to define the fuel Regular : 87 Mid Grade : 89 Premium : 91 & 93 (Depending on which state you reside) Out here in Michigan, thankfully it's 93 octane. Now this makes me wonder if the 93 octane is equivalent to same rating in India or is it higher? Because if India has 99 Octane rating, why is it not available here yet?

Same in USA is available in places where performance cars go. You need to search for the bunks that offer race fuel. It's very much sold since modded cars there run on 100 octane. | |

Will keep an eye out for pumps with higher octane gas in future ! Quote:

For Eg : 97 RON gas in Europe and India is equivalent to 91 Octane in US. Is this a correct understanding? | |||

The octane number is actually the simple average of two different octane rating methods—motor octane rating (MOR) and research octane rating (RON)—that differ primarily in the specifics of the operating conditions. https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/...e-in-depth.php So most likely, 95 RON is what you get but I am not 100% sure. | |
