Hey Guys,
I've been using shell V-Power forever. Now all shell gas stations (at least in Canada) are switching to Nitrogen Enriched Gasoline. They claim Shell V-Power has 5 times the required norm (from the government emmissions control) of Nitrogen Cleaning agents.
Since I have Dinan Stage II, I'm wondering if the increased Nitrogen content will somehow effect my performance and/or engine life. V-Power is still 91 octane, and I know Shell produces great gasonline, but has anyone had experience and has any input about this?

during the combustion process, the increased nitrogen (remember normal air already has about 78% nitrogen) presence acts as a detergent to help remove build up from the engine. Most studies conclude that it works OK, but is far better on the environment than other additives.
