We have it in Calgary now too.. moved from Lower Mainland back in March and I was gutted they didn’t have it.. but over a month ago we got it here, I’m stoked!
Good interview Adam! Over here in the UK, we get the same thing, slightly different blends in fuel. I'm talking only 150miles between north and south England. Also now standard UL is now E10 and super/premium is E5 and 95 / 99 RON.
Adam thank you for developing Shell Nitro + with Shell. As well all know you did the research and Shell did the development lol . Epic ending to your testing videos. Cheers
Thanks for this informative video. From Kamloops, definitely gonna try this fuel out in my R when I'm in Lower Mainland for the Great Canadian Volkswagen Show. Thanks for coming up to Das Weekend.
In germany we have "aral" gasstations, we get here 102 octane. Shell does have V power here, with 100 Octane. Most of us use only Aral 102 Ultimate for tuned cars. Greetings from Germany, awesome content Vancity Audi.
Thanks for watching all the way in Germany! Just so you're aware the octane ratings of your fuel in Germany are not measured the same as they are in North America. Your 102 octane fuel is equivalent to roughly 96 octane in North America. Still higher than the majority of our gas stations carry but it isn't as high as you think compared to fuel here in NA.
@@derzerstoerer1 in some States they have race fuel at gas stations which costs a fortune but is the equivalent of like 110 converted to your octane ratings
Great interview. Thanks for sharing. After watching your video comparing Chevron to Shell fuels, is Shell exceeding fuel standards whereas Chevron is not? Specifically with respect to octane, I can't help but wonder if Shell is overachieving on octane or if Chevron is underachieving to the point of misrepresenting the octane rating of their fuels.
Thank you. The addition of ethanol plays a huge part in Shell outperforming Chevron. Plus for years people have claimed our Chevron 94 is nowhere close to 94 octane fuel.
You're going to need to be more specific, lol. I'm in lots of Facebook groups. Yes, I have seen fuel shortages all around town at multiple differemt branded gas stations.
@@user-pu3cf9pd2m unless someone else is paying for the entirety of the testing I won't be doing anymore fuel test videos. I'm sure there is a difference between the summer and winter blends but I have zero doubt that Shell 93 would come out on top again by a significant margin.
I like running Shells V power nitro premium fuel it Actually does what they say it does it keeps the engine clean from gunk and deposit build up plus it keeps my vehicle running at its best most gasoline won't do that.
I know this video is a little old but.... here a question: Generally speaking, is the 93 octane that shell has in Canada the same/ similar to the US or is it very different?
It's different. Different standards all over Canada and the US. The closest standards I was made aware of is LA fuel vs the fuel we have here in Vancouver.
@Vancity Audi thanks for the reply back! In your best opinion, between the fuel in LA vs Canada... would it be possible the power provided by 93 octane in the US could be less? Obviously a shot in the dark to ask a loaded question but I've recently switched to shell in my area on the east coast and noticed enough of a difference after a full week of performance events to start searching online about their fuel lol. It just feels better than Sunoco Ultra-Tech 93 or any top tier fuel I can get.
@@just.a.simplejoe More than likely the 93 octane fuel you are using your area in the States is better than the 93 we have in Canada. Most of our Provinces have 91 and not 93. On the East Coast they have some 93 but the go to over there is their 94 fuel. If you ever want to know simply datalog your car. That will show you how well your car is running or how much performance you are leaving on the table.
*Just to clarify, the Shell stations that currently don't offer 93, but only 91, is still the superior fuel over Chevron 94? I went on a road trip into interior BC and had to choose between Chev 94 and Shell 91... Picked Chev 94. I think I made a mistake, lol. But I wasn't sure if the Shell stations that only had 91 was getting the new formulated gas yet.* *Another thing that would be really useful is if Shell updated their website to have a 93 station locator, instead of just "Premium" locator, so people can tell exactly which stations have 93 now.*
That would be extremely helpful. You chose wisely though. The Shell stations that still only offer 87, 89 and 91 are not NEARLY as good for performance as Chevron 94 is. I showed that most recently here: czcams.com/video/SoCsF5dRE0U/video.html
@@VancityAudi *I've watched that video before. Wasn't those numbers based on the old Shell formula, before Shell 93 was introduced? In your most latest test, the new Shell 91 was better than Chev 94. Is there two different versions of Shell 91 going around?*
@@VancityAudi *I appreciate how you always reference earlier videos of where we can find topics that were already discussed. But sorry, I'm unable to find it in the linked video, in regards to talking about the old 91 vs new 91 versions, both still being simultaneously in use at different Shell stations. I read another comment where you mentioned 91 is a blend of 87 and 93. Wouldn't that suggest all Shell 91 are now the same with the new formula then?*
@@AzNightmare No worries. I'll find it for you........ 5:23 of that video I sent you talks about the old pumps vs the new pumps and what they might look like. Here it is in a nutshell: The old pumps found outside of the Lower Mainland will have an 87, 89 and 91 pump. 89 is a blend of 87 and 91. This 91 is ethanol free. The 87 is up to 10% ethanol. The new pumps will have an 87, 91 and 93. 91 is a blend of 87 and 93. All of these fuels have up to 10% ethanol in them. I hope that clears it up for you.
We have had the 93 shell here in Edmonton stations for a few months .seems like vpower 93 is just a higher burn rate vpower 91 with a bit more protection in the 93 for knock .but you will get very good performance and more range with there vpower 91 couldn't believe it
@@VancityAudi so right now I'm at the pump and see no 89 anymore just 87 and it says all can contain up to 10% wondering if the 91 now is a 87 with ethanol to get it to a 91
@@onelowvdub the 91 they offer is a blend of the 87 tank and the 93 tank. There is no individual tank for 91, and yes, all of the fuels they offer have up to 10% ethanol now.

Adam i know that the interview was nicely done but here is something that always and bugging me out for a while...iF not much to ask, you can send to him an email about this "Shell URT Advanced is the highest octane" this fuel is only on other part of the world, but not USA/CANADA available. the question is why not have this fuel. again dont want to bother, just only IF you can contact him again and ask.. again Thanks for share this value information, and congrat to you because your success!!! great job!!!
Thank you very much! I didn't know what you were talking about so I Googled it. After researching for a couple minutes it appears like what you are talking about will be manufactured in Houston, Texas and then sold by Hyperfuels. Here is their website: hyperfuels.com/collections/unleaded-racing-fuels Perhaps in time they will sell it.
I will never buy Shell again. I will not use ethanol in my engines. Amazing that they added it now to their fuels. I will only buy Chevron 94 from now on.

Great interview! I was just researching the best fuel for BC Vancouver and from your testing seems shell 93 has a 6 percent performance advantage.
Not sure how you managed to calculate 6% but it smashed the local competition in my testing: czcams.com/video/vdg8DJmKODs/video.html
Are you in the Facebook group? So many stations put 93 for the price of regular as gas stations are always running out of gas.
