Have you been affected by the petrol shortages?

Only donwside I have seen is it produces fractionally loss torque in engine performance terms and maybe doesn't have all the cleaning agents V-Power does. I've always likened Momentum to Kronenburg and V-Power to Stella, the former is great for a top night out but the latter is wife beater! Now if only there were a fuel similar to Viru in my metaphoric scale and I'd have the best of both worlds.

Finally got a tankful of Shell V-Power after 3 weeks of BP Ultimate. Boy, what a difference! The car is much more lively, sounds better and goes better.

Surrey borders. Two Shell garages near me have actually closed down (could be for refurbishment). That might be why they were not getting any fuel in.

Still no V Power at my local garage, starting to wonder if there is more to this than just the recent shortage as the next ones in either direction have it.

The Shell garage in Chandlers Ford has been closed since autumn last year for refurbishment and isn't due to open until June/July.

I think lots of Shell garages are being refurbished - well they've got to spend their obscene profits somehow to avoid having to declare how much money they are actually making...

I live in east Horsley near Guildford, shell garage near me has a plentiful supply even during the fuel problems, guess it's because it's full of old codgers, mind you Sean right Phillips is often in the shell garage with his mat grey range rover vogue lording it up on a bit of v power
