[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 431159, member: 3592"] Yes Sachs. I went to my regular Shell in Damansara Heights this evening, and they have 3 gasoline fuels: Unleaded 95 (RM1.80), VPower 97 (RM2.05) and VPower Racing (RM2.43) The owner, whom I know well, confirmed that VP 97 and VP Racing are [U]different base fuels, but same additive package[/U]. This confirms to me that VP 97 is base ULG from Shell PD (or possibly even Petronas Melaka) that then becomes ULG 95 and ULG 97, and that VP Racing is the real VP from Bukom. And that VP 97 is just a rebranding of ULG 97, leveraging on the VPower name. Damansara Heights (high-end cars) and JB (S'poreans) obviously have the market for VPower Racing. In my books, all this is 'sleight-of-the-hand' marketing, since 99% of consumers don't know the intricacies of the chemistry, production and distribution of gasoline. To me it's also reprehensible. :thumpdown: [/QUOTE]
