I have been using the United 98 10% with good results. A much cleaner fuel at a cheaper price than normal premium. Whats the cost of the Shell 100ron??

Sounds worth while as the early tests I have seen indicate better fuel efficency. DJR backed off their fuel mixtures 8% and still made more power over 98RON.

I noticed that the 100Ron has 5% Ethanol in it which results in the additional octane. Would be

It makes VERY interesting reading... Cheers...Dave

Ethanol contains more oxygen and the higher the ethanol content, the more likley a carburettor motor will ping. It leans out the combustion which is no problem for a car fitted with an O2 sens

Ethanol has a greater ability to resist ignition due to high temperature or compression levels. Because of this resistance, it is actually a stable fuel that should redu

I would swear that someday I fill...and its not the 95RON I pay for. The pump says it but my car can tell other stories, like its ULP, or 50/50 ULP/PULP. Easy way to make a $

Its still a new product, so I imagine shell would be introducing it progressively.
