colzo Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 I`m reading all these threads about cheap V-Power and it looks like I`ve missed out on 4 of my local Shell garages doing this promotion. How do you find out when and where they are doing them again?
Richie Cross Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Colzo, Think it just seems to be luck! I've been to the garage and it had wee posters up saying that it was V Power day the following day or week. My 'local' has had 2 in the space of a couple of weeks!!! [] Just ask and hope they are in the know!
colzo Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Just ask and hope they are in the know! Richie, you would be lucky if they knew the time of day at my local Shell garage. I`ll keep my eyes peeled in the meantime. [Y]

[Y] ha,ha,ha,.....i know what you mean Colin,when the Ferrari collectors cards were on i bought some v-power,paid for it and had to ask if she had any v-power cards,i was met with a look as if i had horns growin' out my head,and then she said ,and i quote..."I think youll need to go to a wee (offensive word for an asian shopkeeper)'s shop for them pal".....well i think its the same local shell as me .
thefastone Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 You know that I got a simelar look when I asked when my local station was getting pay-at-pump machines, and sure enough, they had never even heard of the concept never mind actually knowing when they were getting them... Even though Tescos have had them something like 2 years, Shell are waaaaay behind! seems only some stations are putting them in....
Richie Cross Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I was hoping that you're nearest garage might have a clue because mine didn't! Seems to be a common thing! After reading about V Power day on here, I asked at my local and I had a similar response. Two guys laughed and said, 'Oh, I don't think they would do that'....in reference to me explaining about V Power being the same price as unleaded. Hey presto.....V Power day about a week later!!!
thefastone Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I hope you went in, called them Idiosos* Laughed in their faces, and purchased some really cheap fuel** * Or insert personal insult to taste.** Ok, so i realize that there is no such thing as Cheap fuel, but youve gotta take what you can!
