I only ever use Tesco 99 as I can't get V Power near me.  My two local Tesco's have not had any both times I've been in the last week, and neither has the Tesco near work.  So I've been running on 95 since the petrol crisis, only putting in small amounts at a time in the hope that the next time I visit Tesco they will have restocked their 99 but so far I've had no luck.  There is a third local store I could try and I will be ringing all three on Tuesday to see if they have any as I'm running low and need to fill up for my next lot of shifts.

The petrol crisis has really peed me off.  I filled up before it all started because I needed to, it didn't last me long and by the time I needed petrol again the panic buying was in full swing.  I genuinely needed some but couldn't get any (99 anyway, meaning I had to put 95 in) and have not been able to get any since.  Those of us that genuinely do a lot of miles and fill up frequently have been punished by all the people that do minimal mileage but decided to fill up anyway "just in case". GRRRRR :fighting:

FOR SALE!

Just filled up also at my local who got a delivery this morning. Asked them about this 2-3 week issue the guy said he ordered it last week so not big issue for him.  :happy2:

I tried 3 shell garages today, no v power, they said they had no idea when it was coming back in either :scared:
Might have to make a long trek to tesco at this rate

Nice, only passing on what my local said, so glad you got some.  Still none at the 3 I tried today, until I settled for the Fuel of champions - Tesco 99.

Great I'll just travel the 40 odd miles to get some  :chicken:

Saying that I fly from Stansted on 18th April so I can do it then as I doubt the Vpower will be back by then.  Where about near Stansted, what junction etc?  :popcornsoda:

After being told last week that no more V-Power would be delivered for two weeks, my local Shell (20 miles away but 24/7) has stocks again  :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :star:

Still no V Power for me at my 2 local stations, so now on my 2nd tank of Tesco 99 and can tell no difference what so ever!  Pretty shaw I saw a fella in a new Mclaren filling up with the 95 stuff at Shell, sure that can't be good, can it? :happy2:
