Anyone having any difficulty getting hold of v power fuel?

 

Been to 2 local shell garages and both out, so i asked the guy beind the till when they where getting some more, and he told me they are having problems with shell and dont know when they will be getting some in could be weeks!!!!! and the nearest 5 garages are out!

 

I had to put £10 worth of normal unleaded in to get home.

 

Nearest bp station is now shell which is empty. Im going to have to use another car!!!!!

try bp ultimate thats what i run on all the time. On the odd acassion i have had to run normal fuel so you dont have anything to worry about if you keep it off the high boost :)

a few people on the m3 forum have complained about no v power in the north east

Supply and demand....LOL

 

Seriously though - unless your car is running extremely high boost then I'd have thought you should be fine with another super unleaded.

 

Or if you have a UK spec car normal unleaded is fine - especially as the ambient temperature is still low at this time of year.
