I thought some people might be interested in this price comparison:

I put in 50.96 litres of Shell V-Power today.

Shell V-Power was priced at 111.9 and so I paid £57.02

If I had put in regular Shell unleaded at 104.9, it would of been £53.45..... £3.57 cheaper!!!!

It's a 20k car and you're talking about small change difference for a tank of premium fuel.  :huh:

Ditch one latte/muffin combo and you've made your money back.

Thats my view on this..imagine beer the same as petrol..£1.10 a ltr..... :drool:..But no,its £3.50(ish) a pint.
£28 a gallon...The equivelent in V power is a fiver a gallon.(4.54 ltrs)...  its 4am sorry apologies now if my math is wrong...

Its a bit silly to compare to anything else .. come on guys, you think if it was £28 a gallon you would seriously have that many guzzlers on the road.

Remember most of this is tax.  Hey I dont mind paying a little more for fuel but I remmeber when my Dad complained when it went to 70p a litre

Maybe a bit silly to compare. Just making a point.Most of us have no issues about drinking and paying for it,but stick a penny on fuel and there,s road blocks..Oh and the local has just stuck 15p on a pint this week... I,ll be there,cheers.. :cool:

Never on any occassion drink and drive.

a penny is not a problem, just when its every month its soon adds up!  Wont stop me filling up like most.

If you comapare fuel prices from the past 5 years to the 5 year previous to that it has changes considerably.

Afterall you also have to remember the money your buying fuel with you have already been tax'd on...
