Shell V-Power is a ridiculous £1.46/L

[isysman]

I put Momentum in my Boxster and until recently in my 911. No issues. However now the 'Mersey Gateway' bridge has opened I'll be switching back to V-Power on the 911. The new bridge is a toll road costing £2 each way. Locals are given a free pass to cross but only for one car per household (which I've used on my daily). Tesco for me is across the bridge whereas Shell is on my side. So the saving on Momentum for the 911 has been nullified.

I use it so little it shouldn't really be a worry for me but it's the prnciple!

You get better knock protection from vpower compared to tesco99. We done that test many years ago hence why we tune on vpower. So there is a difference for sure regardless of what they put in it.

I'm a V Power man, even if it does include 5% ethanol over here. It's better than 95 with E10 (although apparently the ethanol content varies), and it's only about 8-10 euro-cents more expensive.

Nope. I think the imaginatively named Shell V Power Nitro Plus E5 over here is actually rated 98 now.

AND I have to run the boat on 98 too. :nooo:

So is Shell the best fuel- I always thought Tescos was a small isle of mainland Greece. The price is not an issue IMO - what is the quality. Unless otherwise I will use V power - no alternative currently

sounds like you're near me, in Runcorn.

Sainsburys, which I've been told is straight from BP, is currently £1.239 a litre for Super Plus.
I've put V power in, I've put 100 octane in (Germany) and I've put super plus in and TBH it still goes like a stabbed rat! As long as it doesn't cause a melt down I'm happy with S/P.
I think we all know that 80% of what we pay goes to the chancellor so the Oil giants need to line their pockets somehow.
Politics pushes up the Oil price, commodity brokers see a profit, jump onto Oil and then push the price up even more, it's whats called 'the markets'.

Good call, I will be stopping there on Thursday, so will make sure to fill up well before then. Still, last time I went up that way, every garage on the A1M was well over priced.
