Just start this so people can post their comments below, I already have it in the tank and early indications are positive (a little more power definitely?)
It seems to have completely replaced the regular V-Power, so safe to say it is V-Power with Additives (Nitro +)

Get on it people and post up any feedback, I can't really comment as I was having fuelling problems which is now fixed and my car feels like it has more power lol.

Was so angry I just filled up £110 of the 'OLD' juice in the 370Z.

More right foot action to use it all up now.

(Surprisingly doesn't take that long to drink through it all...)

I filled up on Tuesday and put some more in last night, can't really tell the difference.

Ask the owner of the garage when they had Nitro delivered and it it was on Sunday and I didn't even notice on Wed or Thurs.

I'm sure its got the additives in etc, but honestly I can't feel any difference.

As long as it's the same price and it's even better for the car, guess I'll carry on using it, although I won't be able to give any reviews.. I'm still getting used to the car.

Placebo. But if it's good I'll start using it when I'm near a Shell.
