Any V-Power in London?
 
Since Thursday I've been unable to get any V-Power now:mad:

Scoobs been sat in the drive since, with less than a quarter left.

None of the Shells local to me but have had any delivery of V-Power:cry:

Anyone managed to get any in London?

KAS35RSTI 02 April 2012 06:36 PM

Yes in Clapham South

BAD BOY V 02 April 2012 06:52 PM

i got some yesterday some, west drayton, new shell station near harmondsworth by pass!

lloydee 02 April 2012 07:00 PM

U lucky buggers!
Doubt I'd make it that far on a quarter :(

If anyone knows of any Shell in East London or West Essex that have V-Power then please post.

I'm in that area(ish) as well and going to Brands tomorrow for a track day. Rang round the stations and none have any.

Shell has apparently suspended delivery of V Power until regular grade has returned to normal. They want to avoid customers complaining that they are only supplying the more expensive premium grade.

The people I spoke to said they had no indication on when they will have it delivered (that was around 2pm today).

Always religously used V Power but been advised by those in the know to go with Tesco Momentum with a touch of octane booster on the track and I'll be fine.

Be keen to know if anybody has found some though..

HT04 03 April 2012 04:24 AM

All the muppets seem to still be panic buying because all 3 of my local Shells haven't had any since last Friday. Might have to try Tesco momentum if I can't get any Vpower tonight... got about 90 miles left in the tank and I do 60 a day for work... sigh

Why don't you just use 95 and drive off boost?

stedee 03 April 2012 12:44 PM

i`m worried now, i`m on the warning light and didnt fill up yesterday because local garage didnt have any, i presumed they would have some more today but doesnt look good

Called up the nearest 8 Shells to me.
Every single one is still out and have no idea when the next delivery is.

Not worth the risk IMO
And driving a Scoob off boost? Where the fun in that lol

HT04 05 April 2012 05:53 AM

I really hope this is not true!!!

lloydee 05 April 2012 03:37 PM

Getting mixed answers... A few are saying they are expecting delivery on Saturday.

But called the head office and they say they have no set date.
They are prioritising normal unleaded before they start sending out deliveries of V-Power.

What a joke... Panic buyers = t***ers!

Wishing my car wasn't mapped on v-power ATM

New_scooby_04 05 April 2012 04:52 PM

Try Tescos 99RON if you can get hold of it or get some Octane Booster; this one

Not got any V-power round here still, but depending where you are the Tesco garage off Jct 3 of the M4 / A312 had 99ron Momentum there that I know of.

craigo 06 April 2012 02:15 AM

this worries me a little...... why choose v power and not momentum 99. i know the fuel tanks are not cleaned as much as shell. but thats why i have a fuel filter. whats the deal?

jura11 06 April 2012 03:41 AM

Lots of V-power on motorway services(but for £1.55-£1.60),but no at normal forecourt,we are now running Momentum too

craigo 06 April 2012 03:55 AM

Nothing wrong,but some tuners said is not consistent as V-power and mainly people who switched fuel from V-Power to the Momentum using little Octane booster
