According to this page, it says "Shell is introducing the all-new Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines, containing a unique, patented cleaning system designed to seek and destroy engine “gunk” (carbon deposits) in all three grades of gasoline."

It is, there is just more of it in the V-Power.

Well, that's good I guess because the Mark VIII takes premium. Hopefully the Corolla keeps this going and the ping is reduced, we'll see.

Didn't know that you could still buy fuel without E. in it... This makes me happy!!!!!


Not for long. McGuinty passed the law a few years ago that by 2010, all grades of gasoline sold in Ontario must contain a minimum of 5% ethanol. AFAIK, Shell Vpower is the only gas that does not contain ethanol (Esso, Sunoco, PC premiums all have it now.)
