Im bound to pay more for the name change. I did notice it the other day right next to the regular unleaded and how easy it is to get confused abd stick the v power in your hyundai when you meant to stick in the regular stuff.Ive noticed the optimax extreme has been axed too. As if anyone dumb enough was going to fall for that one. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/29286-shell-optimax/#findComment-445605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
