octane 101 coming to the uk

Just been chatting to a pump salesman at sell and in the summer the releasing (cough cough) " shell nitro" its gonna be the uk's version on the USA E85 with a 101 octane whoop whoop be good

Is it going to be E85 ( 85% ethanol and 15% petrol) or a lower ethanol mix?

Hmmm wonder has much that's gunna cost per litre £1.80 ??

Think I will stick to the momentum and not be bothered about the extra 1.5 BHP

8p more than v power they where saying and its full of goodness for you engine lol and increase bhp apparently tescos and BP were planing on releasing a 100 octane

Think I will save up my 8p's and buy something that will increase my BHP on 95ron fuel instead lol

Lol that will be 16p as vpower is 8p more than 95 lol

You run yours on 95RON?

I think BP used to do a 102 octane fuel a few years ago, but was only available at certain BP stations, but think they stopped doing it as their was a lack of interest in it as not many people were buying it. Is this shell stuff going to replace the V-Power that they do now or are they going to still sell that and the new stuff.
