Shell V-Power 97 is now available at more than 750 Shell stations nationwide replacing the regulated RON97 fuel grade at the pump for the same price of RM2.05.

The Technology Behind Shell V-Power 97
The new Shell V-Power 97 boasts the same Friction Modification Technology (FMT) additive used by Shell for Ferrari in Formula One (F1) races. Proprietary to Shell V-Power fuels, FMT has been uniquely developed in Shell’s research laboratories and in participation with its long-term technical partner, Ferrari.

Formulated to ensure a cleaner engine in any car you drive, FMT also helps engine parts work smoothly to deliver improved responsiveness. The friction reduction properties of the new Shell V-Power 97 are designed to improve acceleration by reducing friction between moving parts in the engine, thus releasing more energy of the fuel to drive the vehicle. All this, at the price of a regular RON97 petrol.

Ahead of the Shell V-Power 97 launch, Shell deployed its Men in Red teams around Klang Valley to give motorists the excitement of pit stop crew in action. Dressed in red overalls, Shell Men in Red gave Malaysian motorists a quick car pampering session absolutely free as a prelude to the launch of this exciting new breakthrough fuel. The services of the Men in Red are still available at selected Shell stations nationwide until end July for Shell V-Power 97 customers.

[flanker c]

no more normal ron97...i filled today..performance still same previous v power

 

[alantan]

i think its good news

 

[stormlcc]

felt almost same as v-power racing, much better than the standard 97, i drive a levin black top and an RB, can instantly feel the response. Especially the 20valve, oooh the response is so good.........

for normal cars maybe no difference at all but for performance engines / cars it will (a bit), at least u get more for the same price, i say it's totally worth it

15 years in and out of petrol stations and this is the first time i really feel good about paying

 

[artworkz]

my orange petrol icon juz come out on my meter, going to feel the different later on my mod mivec. i support mobil/esso from 2003 until now, maybe time to change.

shell vpower has always been a ron97 fuel wit unjustified price, whats wit all the hype ler? now they come wit a new name, just to lower the cost? all-in-the-pocket tactics, lapok.. weve tested fuel of different brand on the dyno, and the best fuel from way back then, and still is (before dis so-called vpower 97 come up), is the esso ron97

 

[PocketRocket]

no wonder, it was a transition of discontinueing the V-power and removing its subsidies so that they can rebrand the normal ron97...previously the v-power is also ron97 with additives...i think its a way of marketing so that they can re-sell the v-power with a new name...anyway, for shell ron97 of rm2.05, im up with it...been paying nothing less than 2.05 all these while
