Just saw a commercial for this. Anyone try it. I guess it's been available in Europe for awhile.  It's euro rating is 99 Ron which should be around 94.5ish octane.

Great find, thank you for sharing! I've only been able to find 91 octane in town since I got my SHO. Just went to the Shell website and it's showing all the Shell stations in town are carrying this now.  Going to have to run over lunch break and confirm and fill up. Fingers crossed they have it so I can run the LMS 4x tune.

Over on the GTR forum, someone says they got an EMail from Shell stating availability as of June 1, 2015.  So it may be a while before it's commonplace.  I am sure if 93 is not allowed, 94.5 certainly won't be.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I actually inspected a fire system protecting a shell gas station today
The owner said it will replace the current 93. This was a smaller franchise station so I'm assuming it will be anywhere 93 is currently available.

Sounds about right.  So long, VPower!
