Ok...at all the Shell stations down here they're calling their premium "V-power".
What the hell does that mean?
Its not higher octane or anything....and they've always been known for clean gas....
Did some *** just up and decide to give it a new name? (not to mention string up tons of banners and flags around every station within 5 miles of me)
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13, 2003 - Shell Oil Products US, the marketer of the No. 1 selling gasoline brand in America, has selected New Orleans to test market Shell V-Power, its new premium-grade gasoline. Shell V-Power was developed by the Shell International Fuel Team, using years of expertise they’ve gained from formulating fuels for Ferrari’s Formula One racing team. Shell is introducing Shell V-Power to give customers quicker response for improved acceleration during the engine’s warm-up phase, when most hesitation occurs

It's all I use.
Plus I've got my shell card that gets me 5% off.
But all the big car nuts Ive ever been around say its the best stuff for keepin the engine clean and such.
Edit-Also theirs a shell station close to me that has premium for 1.97...can't beat that when everywhere else is almost 10 cents higher.

Yeah, funny isn't it? Funny how Shell is #1 selling when ExxonMobil utterly dominates North American sales by a landslide margin. ExxonMobil must get that huge advantage by selling in Mexico and Canada. Eh?

ok, i was wondering, cause the Texaco down my street, where i always filled up, has recently turned to a Shell. They were in a lawsuit, so i thought it was jsut a name change to get out of the lawsuit.

It was part of the merger agreement when Chevron merged with Texaco. They had to divest themselves of a substantial portion of the Texaco-branded gas stations. Most of them turned into Shells.
Interestingly enough, Texaco gas stations are partially owned by Saudi Aramco. Can you guess which national oil company that is?
