Local shell is doing the Nitro stuff at same price as regular today.
Anyone else seen this? might have to make a special trip out to fill up with the stuff if thats true!
They've had similar offers in the past.
The UK went within a couple of hours of running out of gas earlier this month. A few extra LNG ships were brought in quickly to refill (at no doubt a highly inflated cost)
Expect gas prices to rise sharply soon
Is that the one up by Asda? I sometimes use that. Will keep a lookout for the GTR!
Yeah its sweet briar, the closest shell garage to where I live.
If you see me be sure to say hi!

Performance Reinvented
I went to the same Shell station on Tuesday 16th and Thursday 18th this week. Paid £1.449 both times.
On Thursday the branding on the pump Nozzle had changed to say V-Power Nitro+, and there was flags/banners advertising it and the staff's uniform had it written on too.
They had flyers at the till too to advertise it - they just say what we knew here already "Contains 25% more friction modifiers than our previous Shell V-Power formulation. This technology is designed to instantly reduce friction in critical engine areas. Shell V-Power Nitro+ Unleaded is a 99 octane (RON) formulation."

Prices seem to be down. I paid 140.9 for V-Power yesterday, compared with 132.9 for regular. Also they were handing out vouchers for 10p off per-litre of V-Power valid in May if you spend >£40.
Spend >£40 in the shop? Or on fuel?

Says it must be fuel on the back of the voucher.
Excellent! I'm due to fill up with a full tank soon, so will hopefully take advantage of the voucher
Still paying 140+ for a litre of the black stuff here. :/
Filled up with that new-fangled V-Power Nitro+ a few days ago and have pretty much emptied the tank now. It's made an enormous difference - I reckon about 40bhp more, getting 78MPG even when I'm booting it and my car's value has gone up by £3,000! Amazing!
