Question Anyone run out of V Power yet?

Coming back from work today passed 4 Shell garages, all seemed to be 'dry'. The other non Shell garages all seemd to have long queues.

Assuming most Impreza owners only use Vpower, highly tuned cars must be running low?

Local Shell has all pumps closed. Just been to a Total garage on the way out of Altrincham and there wasn't a car in sight. They said they had no supply problems at all.

Varies: yesterday in Bracknell, one of the big stations simply closed up as all the pumps were dry, but not two miles down the road, all the V power you wanted. No diesel though!

Sat Nav is great when this happens!

The road by my local shell is closed...thus for the past 2 weeks the station has been nearly empty (of customers).

Handy that. So hardly any queues and plenty of fuel.

(I don't use Vpower anyway, but I know its there should they run out of 95Ron )
