New Super Premo Gas From Shell
Shell starts selling super-premium gasoline
If you're already tanking up with premium gas, you might notice a different option during your next fill-up at a Shell station. The oil company is launching a new fuel formula called V-Power Nitro+ Premium, and it claims that this is most advanced gasoline currently on the market.
V-Power Nitro+ adds chemicals to the company's gas that allegedly coats parts to prevent engine wear and protect fuel system components. According to Shell, an increasing number of vehicles are now requiring premium, and this product is a way to adjust to that change.
While Shell asserts that the cleaning agents in the gas act "like a barrier to protect against gunk, wear, and corrosion," the Detroit Free Press notes that none of these claims are independently verified, yet. Theoretically, V-Power Nitro+ might help, though. "Half the friction in an engine comes from the cylinders and piston rings," Harold Schock, director of energy and automotive research labs at Michigan State University, said to the newspaper. "Reformulated fuel could make a difference."
