If you use V-power

EvilFranky · 10 Apr 2012 at 14:15

The Evo is mapped on V-Power so would likely blow up if I ran it flat out with normal stuff.

Christ is it refined from prehistoric baby tears?

Oh, BP.

I was going to fill up at the Shell in Uttoxeter when I go home next weekend as I assumed it would be cheaper than down here - hopefully prices are back to normality next week! :eek:

At what point would you guys hang up the keys? I'd probably give up the Monaro at around 170ppl.

That won't be long

Princey · 10 Apr 2012 at 15:12

I know.

Muffin` · 10 Apr 2012 at 15:13

I think there will be bigger issues to worry about if it's £1.70pl within the next few years

Princey · 10 Apr 2012 at 15:15

I guess you're right but still, it'd be £140 to fill which would be painful.

Housey · 10 Apr 2012 at 16:20

Ive already noticed my wallet is thinner these days due to not having a receipt a bloody day from filling up the RS4!

Princey · 10 Apr 2012 at 16:29

When I used to work in Shrewsbury I was spending £120 every 3 days as the Monaro was my only car then.

My Focus diesel as paid for itself already and that includes the extra insurance and tax.

Just popped into my local Shell and they are all out of V-Power. Its going to have to wait until the next tank!

Logsi · 10 Apr 2012 at 18:05

Filled up today and noticed that on my filler flap that it says "Min 95 Ron" but underneath it says "Super, Premium, blah blah blah".

I'm confused. I used to put V-Power in my ST because i thought it would benefit from it and was going to just whack normal unleaded in my new car (Fiesta Metal) as i didn't think a 1.6 NA would benefit from the higher octane. Why would the filler cap recommend Super?

Brimmed with V-Power anyhow to see. I also like the double points on my V-Power card also.

All fuel sold in this country is 'Super' grade, 'Super Plus' is 98 RON+. In Germany for example you can get 91 RON (Regular), 95 RON (Super) and 98 RON+ (Super Plus).

LiE · 10 Apr 2012 at 19:09

Just filled up, plenty of vpower here.

Isn't 95 Premium whereas 97+ is Super.

Yep, 95 is Premium in the UK.

I had an issue at the weekend and could only find one Shell station with V-Power, took me over an hour to track it down ironically wasting the V-Power in my tank! Needed it for racing the next day and was starting to pap it until I managed to get a couple of Jerry cans filled.

Does anyone know when deliveries will resume?

Liquidfox · 11 Apr 2012 at 10:43

One of the lads at work said it was back in at our local station yesterday. Will find out either tomorrow or Friday when I go to fill up.

rossk26 · 11 Apr 2012 at 10:46

Im filling up today at Annitsford Shell. Will report later....
