Useful(!). Any idea which garages are offering this? Or do I drive around the ones near me and find none of them are offering, hence negating any saving I might have made in the expenditure and use of the fuel I used to go around them all?!?!?!?!?

Instead of the ridiculous 70% (or whatever it is) tax on fuel there should be no more % tax than the vat %! So, 20% max next year.

My car was totally empty on Tuesday and when in town I nipped to shell stuck in £60 of v-power and the kind assistant in the sho just looked at me and pointed at his badge and said you should have come in on Friday when there is 5p of a litre of V-Power, I thought to myself that f*cking handy when my car is now brimming full and has done nothing since filling it up..


Typical!!!

My local Shell is now 5p dearer for V Power than Tesco 99 now (used to be on par), so not really much of a deal and not bothered..

The barmy thing is, we're all really happy about ONLY paying £1.20 for a litre of fuel  :stupid: :laugh: :grin: Imagine thinking 5 years ago that in 5 years time you'd be over the moon paying £1.20 for a litre of fuel..  :signLOL:

Filled up at 117.9.  Pump just said we've lowered V power by 5p but not that it was just for one day?

Post by: stealthwolf on November 13, 2010, 07:15:54 pm
Petrol slowly degrades over time, so it'll be 98+ RON when refined and gradually drops down thereafter. If you fill up and then don't use the car for several weeks, the rating declines, which can become problematic, especially if remapped.

D'oh! 

Thanks for pointing the promotion out in the first place.  I took advantage and can't believe how much of an improvement certainly in terms consumption that the V-Power has made.  I've been sticking supermarket 99RON stuff in up until now.  The Shell Drivers Club have just increased their membership by one!
