Interesting...I use Shell gasoline exclusively for my M cars. I don't think the Shell stations around my area carry this V-Power Nitro+ yet, but I'll ask.

I grew up in the North East and 92 or 93 was the norm for Premium but not here

Hi All:

As per Shell's Canadian Website .... "Shell V-Power NiTRO+ premium gasoline in Canada does not contain ethanol."

Can't speak for the rest of Canada but in Ontario ... Shell V-Power NiTRO+ premium gasoline = 91 Octane.

In australia its just called premium Power and its 98 Octane.

In NY this past weekend

Would be nice to have 93 here, but it's few a far between to find.

In Austria it's V-Power with 100 Octan ROZ
But I don't know if these numbers are really comparable - obviously there are different ways how to measure it (ROZ, MOZ, AON )...

I just filled up today at my regular Shell station. They carry the NiTRO+ and I didn't even notice. They don't have the BMW M sign on the pumps as shown in the first post.

93 octane, $2.95 a gallon.

I read Shell in the USA switched out the previous V Power premium gasoline for the V Power Nitro+ at their stations here throughout the month of June. The switch has finally made it to Cape Cod.
