My nearest Shell station seems to be the dearest fuel around by about 10p a litre, gave up using for this reason, just got a final voucher from the shell points card, bought just enough fuel to use the voucher, robbin’ gits.

This is the second money off voucher I’ve had in four weeks. Last one was for 8p off a litre and now the 7p one.

With the amount of times I fill up my car I get to use each voucher a couple of times as well.

They've still not given me any deals. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person that uses v-power at that station as there was cobwebs on the pump before I started using it. Maybe cause I'm there 4 times a week they don't feel the need.

I might be more inclined to try V Power if the starting price wasn't 139.9p per litre at my local garage....
yeah dude, a lot of the shell petrol stations near me are franchises and charge what they want. i paid 147.9 the other day .__.

Filling up with V Power at 127.9p per litre thanks to my 7p off a litre voucher. Makes the cost only 1p more than standard unleaded.

Best thing is u can use the voucher again before 05th October

19p a litre more is disgusting. I feel for you. Even without my 7p off voucher I’m only paying 134.9 a litre. That’s still 12p a litre less than you (I’m good at maths I am lol).

Surely Shell have some kind of pricing policy or is it up to the individual garage as to what they charge?

I think they might be franchises. I wonder if they price it on popularity. They actually sold out of V-Power at my local a couple of weeks back (and yes it was a disaster for me!). Cause I've noticed that no matter where I go in the country (even some motorway services), my local is one of the most expensive.

That ... or they put the price up when they see me drive onto the forecourt. Cause I notice only the cheap stuff has it's price on the big digital board.

Oh... actually... I can feel the muscles at the edges of my mouth twitching. But after putting £55 in this morning, I can't really smile I've now got an 8p per litre off voucher.

It should last a week or two and the rate you use Petrol you should get to use it at least once
