I deliver fuel...most does come from same place in your area, additives are what make the difference BP, Jet, Texaco, Tesco,Sainsbury Shell, however although most comes in by ship is pumped to storage additive is added at point of loading, we bottom load on the racks and the additive is injected into the line depending on which retailer is being loaded..however Shell VPower nitro as its now called is made in a designated refining operation and is a sepetate product with excellent properties for anti knock corrosion inhibitors and carbon cleaning properties its rated at 99Ron....its what i use in bike and car worth the extra wonga....
As a fuels driver i worked on the Shell contract for 10yrs we got to see research films on Vpower unleaded and Vpower diesel they did alot of work on the development of it...Audi Le Mans cars used the Vpower diesel and Ferrari used and helped develop the high octane unleaded i guess if you are sceptical about its performance then only longer usage would maybe change your mind, for me i use it in my megane 225cup and it runs much better than with the lower octane..
As you say 95 RON , I was correct !
Be aware that means regular in the uk and has a differ notation in the EU.
IT DOES NOT MEAN SUPER UNLEADED! (In the uk ) which is 98 RON
Yep! First line does read "Super unleaded"Super Unleaded is generally 98 or 99ron, which is the first line in the "recommended" box (the margin cuts off some of the text but it looks like it's a maximum ron of 10X) after that it's 95ron and then 89 AKI.
I could be wrong here but Dont the bikes have Knock sensors that advance or retard the timing
On holiday in France, I frequently use supermarket 98RON fuel - and that makes the bike run better. I suggest it is the RON that influences, not the label.

Perhaps as you know loads more than a bloke who has been delivering fuel most of his adult working life you should tell us all the real truth about motor spirit as you appear to know so much about it..

One of the reasons our petrol is so shite. This is out of date, I think most of the major forcourts use an E10 blend. Shite!!!!!
