I'm not surprised. They give away fuel in a promo, but advertising that they are giving it away......noooo :angry:

I've never seen them advertise anywhere in the press or tv.
What they mostly do is just put a banner up on their stations informing people.

From what i know they do these promos 1/2 times a month.

By the looks of it not all of their stations participate but a good 98% do as this promo was posted on another site aswell and people from all over the uk were confirming it.

Yes, Shell V-Power is the price of standard unleaded today from the hours 8am - 8pm

Happy fueling  :smiley:

Refilled at 7:30 this morning, was 7p per litre more! No signs saying it was going to be cheaper in 30 minutes  :angry:

Not a happy man... I've just come back from my determined quest to find a Shell garage in Ipswich that has this offer - because I'm a tight b88t8rd - and after visiting 5 out of 6 stations none of them have cheaper V-Power (I ran out of time for the 6th and knowing my luck and Sod's Law, it was probably participating in this offer).  Anyway, I started off the journey with 50 miles left in the tank and came back with 20 miles left  :grin: :grin: :grin:  Would have been pointless finding a participating garage at that rate as I would have only broken even  :rolleyes: 

One thing I did notice was that when I accelerated quite hard in both S and D Modes, the turbo sounded quite wheezy and I haven't noticed that before.  I'll keep an eye on it for a few weeks and if it gets any worse then I may go to the dealer.

Nope V-power was normal price near me today.

Mind you I filled up with Tesco 99 last week. The car seemed to like it and the tailgate was not as sooty as it is when I use V-power.
