bigal024 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Sounds like a piss poor excuse for that petrol station to rip you right off.
paul_honthy Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 I think I'll be having a word with Maybole Garage Owner to ask him why he stated in great fact and detail about the new 100 RON fuel that I had just filled up with!
wrxmania Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 They supply it as V Power in Europe. Shell UK may not make it but Shell as a company do.
oobster Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I telephoned them a couple of weeks back to ask them this question too, and got the same response. To be honest, I think that they are probably aiming to roll this out country-wide in the next few months along with a big fancy ad campaign, but where's the harm in actually answering people's questions honestly just now? Does this 100 RON stuff not match the V-Power stuff they have over in the United States of Europe? Also, on the flip side, they would need to have been damn sure that 100 RON petrol won't be able to do any damage to people's cars, if they aren't marking 100 RON clearly on the outside of the pump.
paul_honthy Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 The Conspiracy continues !!!! I was thinking that myself mate!
paul_honthy Posted July 26, 2006 Author Posted July 26, 2006 So bloke who works at Shell i think !! [][]
paddy247 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Strange one there. I have seen documentation from shell to a certain garage, which describes the launch of the new fuel which will be called v power here also, the launch is next month somtime, il get the date from the garage owner next time im in for a bleather.[]
