Starting Monday, your local Shell station will be offering a new grade of fuel said increase engine life and boost efficiency, but at a price.
According to Shell researcher Ed Nelson, the company's V-Power Nitro+ claims to add "protection against wear and corrosion to the detergents our gasoline already contains" by adhering to affected parts for better lubrication while keeping water in the gasoline from doing the same for reduced corrosion, Detroit Free Press reports. Nitro+ also claims to have more detergent to prevent waste buildup in the engine.
The new grade will replace the original V-Power premium fuel at Shell stations nationwide, while grades below Nitro+ will have lower quantities of the detergents and other chemicals used with the new premium fuel. No changes to octane are set to occur, though Shell is silent on how much more consumers will pay for Nitro+.
