I think my local Shell garage has V-Power again now. The pumps didn't have the things to stop you using them them last night as I drove past.

Just out of curiosity, no-one uses BP? Waiting for my Cooper S and there's a BP garage 1/2 mile down the road, nearest Shell is 7 miles (although it's a nice drive).

I've always found BP to be more expensive than Shell, certainly around here.

BP is ****e (awaits the barrage of abuse).

Why are you gonna pay more and not even get 99 octane?

BP is 97 octane and is more expensive.

Shell Vpower Rules, My car almost 99% of the time is on vpower. When I cant then i use tesco. My exhaust pops and bangs so much. I LOVE IT!

Tesco 99 is also okay.

I don't think you'll get abuse - was just curious that no mention of bp ultimate. I think given that the 7 miles to the shell station is a nice drive, I'll use it.

I use bp ultimate and have done since I have had my MINI,I use it as the Bp garages are nearer and more convenient plus my local newspaper does money off coupons.It pops quite a lot on the fuel.I have tried a tank of V-power but it didnt seem to pop as much, but the pops might have been a bit louder.
