Mine runs a hell of a lot better on tesco 99. Used optimax and v power for years but it's far smoother on tescos finest. Only use v power as a last resort these days and it instantly feels flatter in comparison

....

What pisses me off is also having Shell cards for both Germany and France but the points aren't centrally collected so I don't get any benefit. We're supposed to be a European trade comunity FFS!

That's a Shell corporate decision, and nothing to do with the EU.

I must have quite a few points on my v-power card; I should see what I can do with it.


...mind you, I have 13,000 Nectar points - I should redeem them at some point. What can I get for 13,000 points?

....Yes, I contacted Shell about Euro points and got the unsatisfactory reply.

For 13,000 points you might get a Mac  :evilgrin:

Since moving, I haven't used T99 but when I did, I would switch between the two. I found that with V-power, there was an instant aggressive boost but that this quickly settled whereas T99 wasn't so aggressive but the power didn't drop off as quickly.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I thought that to get the vpower card, you had to use a certain quantity of fuel in a given timespan. If you met the criterion, a vpower card would be sent out.

Okay so if you drink more than 150 litres of v-power per quarter, you automatically get sent the vpower card (or at least the option to join).

I called up this morning mate (seems like the call centre on the 0845 number is located somewhere in Asia, Bangladeshi sounding gentleman picked up) and he explained I need 500 points before I'll receive a £2.50 voucher for money off @ Shell fuel.

If you've got 750 points and you've selected how you want them, then I'd definitely call as it seems you're not getting what you're entitle to?

£2.50 after 500 litres?

That's like 0.4% discount. Not really worth it is it?
