Rory Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 1.03 ouch thats nuts. V power is 95.9 here just now... I see its gone up a good few pence in the last month. Tensions with Iran anything to do with it I wonder ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I am assuming that 99RON has just hit scotland then... We've had it for 2 yrs now, in London anyway. Tensions with Iran anything to do with it I wonder ? yeah, any excuse for those bastids to raise the price.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Bloody hell I can't believe you don't have 99RON up there! Its all over down here at about 98p per litre. I use SHELL V-Power (replaced optimax) I wouldn't ever put lower than 99ron in it either, purely because of the damage I 'hear' it can cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Geo - what store can you buy it from, I might go to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Aaahh, I now know why I got bummed for a full tank of petrol last night. I filled up with BP Ultimate and it was £8 more than the last time I filled up... I may have to go to the Shell station in Wigan fro V power in future but it's about 8 miles away... H.

Havard Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 What did you see?? Yeah Jamie, what did you see...?? I hope it was no difference in performance as opposed to anything more sinister.
