Shell fuels http://www.shell.com/home/PrintFramework?siteId=home&FC3=/home/html/iwgen/shell_for_motorists/shell_fuels/fuels_sfm_20042005.html
In today’s world where gasolines and diesels can be reformulated for enhanced performance and cleaner engines, a wide range of fuels is available, and the consumer can make increasingly sophisticated choices.
http://www-static.shell.com/static/images/shell_for_motorists/pump_stand1.jpg
Shell’s differentiated fuels have been launched in more than 40 countries to meet the individual needs of its customers. Some of the products we offer include Shell V-Power, Shell V-Power Racing, Shell V-Power Diesel and Shell Optimax. The benefit of each product and its availability differs by country.
Shell’s automotive fuel products are supported by extensive research and development carried out in the UK, US, Germany and Singapore by around 150 skilled professional chemists and engineers.
Economy gasolines
Customers can choose gasolines that can deliver greater economy through a formula designed to reduce friction, keep the engine clean and by improving combustion and the overall efficiency of the engine.
Performance fuels
We supply premium fuels in a number of markets, which can help maximise the performance of your car. They result from extensive consumer research into what drivers want in each market: ranging from more power, better responsiveness, greater efficiency, and cleaner engines to better care for the environment. Our performance fuels have been tested and refined through our technical partnership with Ferrari in Formula One racing.
In the last five years dramatic developments in diesel engine technology have driven massive growth in the number of diesel passenger cars. Our premium diesel fuels are designed to enhance the sustained power and endurance these drivers are looking for. Shell's unique synthetic fuel technology - GTL - where natural gas is synthesized into a pure diesel fuel component without any of the impurities found in ordinary diesels will help make for a cleaner environment and is widely supported by many leading car manufacturers.
New fuels

The use of oil as the primary transport fuel poses a range of sustainability challenges with uncertainty over the security of supply, local emissions and greenhouse gases. This has to be balanced against the consumer desire for access to cheap and efficient transport. New fuels and vehicle technology are being developed to address these challenges.
Some alternative fuels require vehicle modifications or the installation of a new fuel infrastructure, which is limiting their initial usage to dedicated bus and truck fleets. In the medium term gasoline and diesel will increasingly contain blend components that are derived from sources other than oil to ensure cleaner air. Longer term, a new infrastructure for the distribution and sale of hydrogen will be built.
Autogas (LPG)
Auto gas is the most commonly used alternative fuel and has considerable potential to improve local air quality. It can be produced from both oil and natural gas allowing motorists to enjoy lower prices. LPG is a popular alternative to petrol in many developing countries.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
CNG is established as a public automotive fuel in several countries including Argentina, Italy, Brazil and Pakistan and as a fuel for public transport (buses and taxis) in several Asian, European, US and Australian cities. CNG vehicles worldwide are predominantly converted vehicles, mostly converted from spark-ignition gasoline passenger cars (and are likely to remain this way for the foreseeable future), limiting the possible benefits from CNG use. Nonetheless Shell is investing selectively in natural gas as a motoring fuel.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen has the potential to be the building block of a sustainable energy system and with fuel cell technology could power cars of the future. Depending on how hydrogen is produced, it can offer a dramatic reduction on both global greenhouse gases and local air pollution. Hydrogen can be produced from natural gas, hydropower and even coal, offering a security of energy supply.
But there are a number of economic and technical challenges regarding storage and distribution, which must be resolved before its use as a fuel becomes widespread. Fuel cell systems also require substantial cost reduction before they can compete with today’s car engines on price.
Shell is working in partnership across industry to address these challenges and has built several hydrogen-fuelling stations in Japan, Europe and the US to serve fuel-cell vehicles. This gives consumers and policy makers a chance to visualise the future. It may not be as far away as you thought.
Bio-fuels
Bio-fuels describe fuels produced from biomass, such as plants, straw or waste paper. They can be blended with standard fuels or used “pure.” Depending on how they are produced, they result in lower carbon dioxide emissions. The two main bio-components for fuels are ethanol and bio-esters, which when mixed with diesel fuel become bio-diesel. Both ethanol and bio-diesel are penetrating the fuel market as they integrate smoothly with existing fuels. The full potential of bio-fuels will only be realised when the cost falls.

Thought of reviving this thread, since we have some up and coming new RON rating of fuel coming into our pump station by September.
Any idea of whether Skyline GTTs & GTRs can 'digest' RON 95 fuel?

Put in this way, ALL the fuel that is available at the gas station are all the SAME regardless what brand they belong to! The rating or quality of the fuel are all SUCKS...and what we can do about it?! Hate it..got to live with it....even with the so called "high" quality rating (97), others country is using it in their trucks or machine (this is what I realized and found out when I am over in their country)! They have gas rating up to 100 and this is what they use in their "normal" daily cars....
Now you see what I am trying to tell you already?? The only choice is to add in HKS High Octane Booster Fuel and that's gonna cost you more then RM100 per bottle! So, welcome to MALAYSIA.......:slug:

Anyway, does that mean that actually skyline can actually 'digest' RON95 as well? I thought it would cause knocking in the engine. Any comment?

did u check on canada market fuel Their highest is 94 octane man. so we consider very lucky in malaysia la (not compare to japan la) at least we have ron 97(97octane) fuel lowest 92 ron new in sep ron95.
Petrol-canada fuel list in canada
Regular 87 octane
Mid-grade 89 octane
Premium 91 octane
Super premium 94 octane
IF u insist best fuel for skyline, u either go to rompak our mas 747 petrol or go buy one this race fuel http://torcoracefuel.net/pro-fuels.html
octane 120(ron120)
http://torcoracefuel.net/2-docs/torco-specs-2009.jpg
should sufficient for u already.
BUT for the price 1 DRUM is about USD$550 so convert to malaysia a Litter cost RM 9.40
To fill up skyline fuel tank (65 litter say u still have 10litter in reserve)about RM 470.
But consider lucky already price very cheap in malaysia, when i was in Australia(2004) normal ford falcon also cost me about RM210 normal fuel, now should be RM300.
But most expensive Hong kong normal fuel tank about RM400-500. BUT they has the highest V-Power sold in Hong Kong reach RON 107, also it is the highest native RON in consumer grade commerical petrol across worldwide(no wonder Hongkong fuel so expensive).

By the way, to fill up per-tank you should compare dollar to dollar, and not do the currency conversion ... Last I remembered, aussie fuel were around 90+ cent per liter (early 2000), and Optimax (V-Power) were around +20 cents more per liter ...

Bare in mind that Skyline is designed based on Japan's spec and Nissan never stated what octane level is best for Skyline. Of caused the higher rating of the fuel is always better than the lower rating. That's why Audi never "officially" launch their R8 in Malaysia as they stated that our octane level will eventually harm the engine and that car will NEVER perform to what it should be.... sad ain't it...what to do?? 
use ron95 and using knocking diagnosis tool to check if no knock use lo, i think ron recommend will normally can be read near the fuel cap or near the small litter door for filling fuel.

If you are going to run a lower octane fuel, just wind down the boost abit more, and retard the timing ... Yes, you won't get THAT much power but still better than spending 15-20k rebuilding the whole engine ... :hmmmm:
there is in fact a knocking sensor on diagnostic tool, but knocking is always obvious and can be heard just with your ears...
however, closely follow the recommendation at fueling cap is good enough for most cases

You all think that octane booster will help to solve all this problems?? I'm talking those selling at supermarket by the brand of STP...:hmmmm:
