Default Super Unleaded Petrol

I've been using Shell V-Power since I bought my car, but I've just been to my local Shell garage to find the pump locked off, when I asked the girl at the counter she said the petrol station was closing, so there goes my source of V-Power.

Does anybody use any other type of Super Unleaded or should I travel out of my way to get V-Power?

Tesco 99 momentum is a good match for V power. See if there is a Tesco near you that sells it. If not find your nearest Tesco or V power station and travel. Loads of us on here travel just to fill up with 99 octane fuel.

Tesco Momentum 99 is a good alternative to V Power

Another one gone.

Looks like Shell have given up trying to compete with the supermarkets.
I bet they are still around on main roads, etc.

Where they can OVER charge to their heart's content

You should actually see more pop up as shell bought out most of the total sites in the country. My company delivers to a lot of total sites in the south east but we can sell to shell so we are losing a lot of business :-(

I wish they'd buy our local Total, it's a complete rip-off
