How far for v-power?
How far do you have to travel to fill up with v-power? Mines a 28 mile round trip, pisses me off
26 mile round trip for momentum.

Tesco 99 local to me, so is V Power, but when I'm on long trips sometimes its hard to get. A little off topic, sorry, but has anyone deliberately mapped for 95 ron because the good stuff was out of reach?

30 miles if I fancy driving to the other side of Hereford which can be a nightmare or 52 miles if I drive halfway to Birmingham.
Which is why I use Tesco as thats only 44 miles or 32 miles depending on where I go.
I fill up at EVERY opportunity regardless of how much fuel I have.

I have 2 shell stations within 1.5 miles from me and Tesco's which is about 3 miles.
Anyone else have the shell station iphone app? Its good if your planning a long trip.

400 mtrs for v-power
Or 2 miles for momentum - normally go for momentum as its slightly cheaper plus club card points come in handy

2 shell stations within a mile. The ONLY advantage of a scoob in london. Bloody speed bumps.
I use the shell app when I can but google maps does a very good job on the move aswell. Had to do 26 miles recently in the middle of a track day. That was annoying.
