If you use V-power

Ivyforce · 29 Mar 2012 at 14:16

Hi, heads up

There are no more V-power deliveries after today for sites, the tankers have been transferred to help transporting the regular grades.

There is no ETA for when deliveries will resume.

DRZ · 29 Mar 2012 at 14:30

Hmm. I run my MX-5 exclusively on V-Power and the weather is too awesome not to drive it

^^ best you get panic buying then.

Dammit! I'll probably have to fill up tonight then if they have any left. I wonder if momentum 99 will be similarly affected.

Firestar_3x · 29 Mar 2012 at 14:33

Time to adjust the Revo settings then!

LiE · 29 Mar 2012 at 14:37

Thanks for the heads up.

My local Shell was empty of V-Power on Tuesday night...

Source? There has been so much scaremongering that it's hard to tell at the moment.

L0rdMike · 29 Mar 2012 at 14:48

Great

My car can only hold 35L of fuel.

Hades · 29 Mar 2012 at 14:52

I'm shagged for the Corrado then.

Muffin` · 29 Mar 2012 at 14:52

God I'll have to use Momentum, hope my 17 year old fuel pipes can withstand the paint thinner!

GinG · 29 Mar 2012 at 14:52

I have plenty available, £3.50 per litre standard 95, £4.50 V-Power, £5.00 diesel

Frozennova · 29 Mar 2012 at 15:02

Oh

I don't get paid till tomorrow and need to fill up

Can you offer delivery to Surrey?

ubersonic · 29 Mar 2012 at 15:48

Plenty of V-Power at my local Shell atm, I had to fill my Supra TT with it last night because the local Sainsburys was out of 97RON >.>

Makes sense that their transferring the tankers to normal unleaded though as thats a pretty sensible idea, if the story's true.

ci_newman · 29 Mar 2012 at 15:57

It's a good thing I don't fill up at Shell isn't it. At any rate, I'm surprised that they aren't letting the 95RON run dry, to encourage people to fill with V-power instead.

There is no public source, it was only announced to sites this afternoon, I am not trying to cause worry, I just know some forums members prefer that grade and will struggle as sites only replenish main grades.

exactly what i thought, larger margins left for them!

missed their chance!!

Liquidfox · 29 Mar 2012 at 16:29

Luckily I was filling up tonight anyways, normally last about a week on a full tank

My trip to Kielder was fun on Monday night at least

Means i've gone through an entire tank of fuel in 4 days with 3 of those days involving just a 20 mile commute

naefeart · 29 Mar 2012 at 16:30

WHAT?

Nooo that's not good. I can't run my M on poor people's fuel, the engine will explode!!!
