[micra_wrc]

just to add there was no VPower Glasgow Pollokshaws Road or Anniesland Cross today

petrol tanker rolled up when we were in the forecourt and I asked the driver if he was carrying VPower.

Said he wasn't and that he was surprised there was none at the pumps...

Knew there was a shortage last week coming up from Manchester but it was meant to be sorted by this weekend

i read somewhere that shell was stopping production of v-power due to manufacturing costs and the amount of sales is not enough to keep it viable

[Hightower]

If they have a tank full of 99, then it must be getting pretty old. The pumps haven't worked since about Christmas!

thats what she told me ...................she must be pulling my leg then

[st3ph3n]

Tesco Uddingston are pretty good with having 99 for anyone out my way. I think it'll get fairly well recycled with the amount of flash cars in Bothwell. Plenty of school run mums in range rover sports working their way through half a ton of it a week given the speed they seem to insist on going at - standstill or 70mph in a 30.

[jacko324]

Done a tour friday night looking for v-power ,all sold out

after 4 different garages got some at paisley road west shell.

[hosstheboss]

Most stations in Aberdeen out of v-power as well??????????????

[steveairdrie]

Looks like a national shortage, if you google shell v power shortage theres quite a lot of forums talking about the v power pumps being dry. A few garages have told people it was a quality control issue that has lead to the problem

I fuelled up at whitburn shell this morning and all their v power pumps were working if this helps anyone close by

Someone did say some time ago that V-power was being reformulated with 5% Ethanol, not sure if this is the reason for running down the stocks..... or even if its true !!

Well I got V power saturday and tonight both in the Midlothian area...Dreghorn and Mayfield

[mystery machine]

I pulled into an Edinburgh Shell station this afternoon and the V-Power pumps were still open.

However, I didn't have the Scooby, so wished to enquire as to whether their stocks might be expected to last until tomorrow evening, at which time I might choose to replenish my supply. The conversation with the (I have to say quite polite) African woman behind the counter went something like this:

Me: "Hi, I've come in to find out how much V-Power you have left."

Cashier: "No."

Me: "No - there's none left?"

Cashier: "No, I don't understand."

Me: "OK. The V-Power petrol - do you think you have enough to last until tomorrow evening?"

Cashier: "No."

Me: "You don't?"

Cashier: "No, I just don't understand."

Me (observing the lengthening queue behind): "Thank you! "

So I'm hoping whatever they did have lasts until the morra night...

I'm surprised you're not taking advantage of your two Scoobs and doing a bit of stockpiling there, Cath

Incidentally, the rumour I read (browsing another forum) is that a 'leaking pipe' at the refinery caused them to have to temporarily cease production of Veep, and that they expect to be up and running again within days...

Here's hoping...

Back in the day when I used to use petrol before switching to vegetable oil I used to run mine on Tescos 99, always felt smoother that V-Power and a few p cheaper too!!

And i took you more for a slack @ss, that a tight @ss

[Megy]

Plenty in 2 of my local 3 Shell stations, non in Abbeyhill, plenty in the seafield road and ferry road stations (roads may be wrong but hope people get the idea).

Hope it doesnt all run out.
