Shell V-Power
 
so what's exactly up with this "nitrogen-enriched" gasoline?
does this actually have any proven performance gains? i would reckon all it really does is marginally decrease the volume of gasoline you get due to the nitrogen gas boiling out (much like the CO2 in a coke) when it gets warmer.

anyone know anything about this?

its meant to clean the motor which doesnt really gain you power, it just frees up lost power.
kinda like seafoaming.

You know, the first thing I thought when they started promoting that "nitrogen-enriched" gasoline was, "they're putting NOS in their gas?!"

But then I guess it wouldn't be 93 octane, would it?

It's long been known there is only one way to gain power by choice of the fuel you use. Here's how:
First: Run your tank until it's almost empty (fuel light comes on)
Second: Fill your tank with Shell V-power fuel
Third: Drive until you are down to half a tank
Fourth: Fill up with Chevron Techron gasoline
NOW YOU HAVE V-TEC!!!!!

Just alternate between Shell and Chevron each time you get down to half a tank and you will maintain V-TEC

Average gain is 50whp but gains have been as high as 600whp on some vehicles.

Seafoam works great on my silverado. I use it before every 2nd oil change. Ill be burning 94 octane at mohawk whenever possible cause its the same price as 91 down the street from the shell lol
