Cool Goodbye Optimax, Hello V-Power!

For those of you that haven't seen the threads in the general section, Shell has ditched Optimax and launched V-Power here in the UK.



It has been confirmed as 99RON.

Click HERE for link to Shell website announcing launch.

Not quite the 100 RON everyone was hoping for, but a step in the right direction!

Website says:

"Shell UK today launches its latest generation of performance unleaded fuel - Shell V-Power. Available across the UK."

That was posted yesterday (23rd August), so should be available at most Shell garages.

Yeeha they have changed my optimax account to a v power account! Happy Days, just got 100 bonus points by signing up for the next letter aswell!

At this rate just a few more years of saving and I might get a ferrari hat!

Double Your Litres

As an V-Power Club member, double your litres on a Monday! Simply fill up with V-Power on any Monday between 11th September and 25th September 2006, and you'll accumulate twice the usual litres for every litre you purchase.

These bonus litres will be added to your account at the end of the promotion period. For example, if you buy 35 litres of Shell V-Power fuel, you’ll be awarded 70 litres towards your quarterly earning threshold.
