Premium Fuel

I don't find the new Shell system good.  I always fill up from nearly empty, so before I would get 50 points for 50 litres on each visit.

Now you only get a fixed point for spending at least a tenner.  So the only way to get lots of points is to refuel virtually every day and put £10.50 in - not practical for me.  So I find it worse, as I get the same points for 50l / £65 quid as i would for £10.50.

Unless I've misunderstood something on it?

There just seems to be far more spot savings - over the last 6 fill ups, I have saved 4 times (£1.80 to £3 off each time). It used to seem like an age for the paper vouchers to arrive!

The best I can get in Northern Ireland is 97 from the likes of BP. I always use this alongside an octane booster.

I've got the shell + app and I always seem to get money off when I use it plus cheaper coffee 😄

how do you use the shell app?

Spoke to one of the techs at VW and he said they're getting quite a few MK6's in from the owners using poor quality fuel. Like others have said, performance car - performance fuel.

Momentum 99 or Shell V-Power only for me.

Me too mcmaddy, it's much better than the old card isn't it!

how do you use the shell app?

you scan the QR code every time you fill up and once you reach ten you very money off. You also get money off treats before reaching ten or free coffees or sweets etc

True, but have you also noticed that Shell have slowly been creeping the price of V-Power up to compensate since the new rewards system came in. It’s now £1.45 a litre in all my local Shell stations (versus £1.28 for normal Shell 95), where as Momentum is £1.32 a litre (versus £1.26 for normal 95).

So at £6.50 a tank extra for V-Power versus Momentum, they can afford to give more spot money away. At first I thought it was just general price rises, but the price of normal Shell 95 and diesel has generally stayed static.

Always used Tesco 99 or V Power since new. Had to put a few tanks of 98 into her in France a few weeks back but I didn't notice any difference. I did have a car full of holiday gear though so performance wasn't at the top of my list, got great MPG though.

Bring back Tiger Tokens (Esso). I used to get tons of them always volunteering to fill the works van. I even managed to get a 14" colour tv with them (thousands of points required!).
