Title: V power Special Offer
Post by: The Wheel Man on 21 May 2008, 17:28
Is anyone elses Shell station doing this?  On the 23rd V Power will be the same price as regular fuel :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:   

I cant believe i noticed yesterday just after fulling her up!!  Oh well, seems like a good reason to use a little extra fuel in the next couple of days  :evil:

If you interested, its the Shell Station on the A50 in Glenfield, those local will know where...

Thanks for the tip ... I'lll have a good luck round here in Leeds on 23rd

Last time my local Shell garage did this promotion however, it was just for one day at that one particular Shell station.

My ED30 seems to go best on Tesco 99 .. sounds meatier too,  mpg is better with V-Power though.

I'd like to use that stuff. But I tried it about 8 months ago in the LCR and it was £2.65 a litre. Shudder to think how much it is now...  :shocked:
Sounds like a good deal at Shell, but i'd rather pay a few pence more and use Tesco's as I normally do. Both the Golf and the Leon ran better on it for some reason..

We can't get tesco 99 round here and there are no Shell garages withina 15-20 mile radius :sad:.  I paid £1.19/litre for Tesco 97 the other day! :angry:
