Using Shell V-Power with a classic car?
Owners of classic and vintage cars are being advised that new fuels with ethanol are incompatible with some materials used pre-1960. We are informed that Esso 97 unleaded does not contain ethanol. Is this also true for Shell V Power unleaded? I share your view about its supremacy for modern cars and would like to continue using it in my vintage without worry. Many thanks.

No. V-Power contains bioethanol.
