Shell, your $.70/gal (35%) hike for V-Nitro is ridiculous.
Even with frequent $.10 Fuel Rewards & Drive for 5 discounts = $.55 more.

Going to move on to Exxon Supreme.
Its a $.40/gal hike with $.06 discount = $.34/gal more.

I will have to search the forums to see if there is an octane booster w/ detergent additive option for regular unleaded.

==============================
Update: Boom - Exxon is now also nearly $.70/gal more for super unleaded!!!
Today I started using Shell REGULAR - I'll see how it "feels" and how my MPG is affected (If I do slalom race, I will use V-Nitro).

ALSO, since there is only ONE fuel line at the pump, am I NOT getting V-Nitro the first few gallons?
Then the NEXT person IS getting a few gallons of V-Nitro still left in the hose from me?
