Any - New Shell V-Power Nitro+ - craig-pd130

At the weekend, I was amused to see that Shell is rolling out an updated version of its V-Power premium fuel, called V-Power Nitro+.

Unfortunately, it contains no nitromethane, so it will not give your vehicle the performance of a top fuel dragster. However, it does contain "25% more friction modifier" than its predecessor.

25% of fek all is still fek all.

Of course petrol needs a friction modifier. Goes through the injectors more easily...

25% more means it goes faster.. like the car :-)

Friction modifiers can be good and bad - the railways use sand on the rails to get MORE grip - that's a friction modifier as well !
