Difference between Shell VPower and VPower Nitro+?
Was filling up and noticed this shiny new badge taped on. What did Shell add? Is it just a re-brand?



Here's what it says on their site.

it's an added detergent to keep your fuel injectors clean and free of carbon deposits

Didn't they say that in their VPower intro a coupe years ago?

Just saw this on Saturday when I was filling up at the local Shell. I was wondering the same thing.

I read that there are more detergents then V-Power. Not sure if the friction modifiers are new.

The only difference is the price. When this showed up at the Shell down the hill from my house, the price shot up from $3.33 to $3.63 while regular, plus and diesel stayed flat.
