Gutted, thankfully I have T Wells or Wadhurst about the same kind of distance

Anger 29-12-2011 05:45 PM

I'm surrounded by Shell garages

Tomma 29-12-2011 05:45 PM

there's an android/iphone app for Shell that tells you where your nearest shell garage is at any point, quite handy on long journeys

worzel 29-12-2011 05:46 PM

Got that app too, very useful :ok:

Crowman 29-12-2011 05:53 PM

Better get that app now. Cheers chaps

If only, can you imagine the queue of scoobs and evos!

Just spotted something funny when typing evos on the iPad, the spell check tries to change it to "egos" :lol:

wonkey85 29-12-2011 06:21 PM

Don't mean to pry in In on This thread.
Just wanted to ask what you lot think is best bp or shell?
I dont use a particular retailer all I do Is just use the most expensive fuel when I'm in whatever garage I'm in.

Crowman 29-12-2011 06:35 PM

Shell all day, I have never liked the BP , always made my scoob run poo

Crowman 29-12-2011 06:36 PM

Wonder what they do with the VPower that's in the tanks . Siphon it may be

Steve_PPP 29-12-2011 07:26 PM

Strange, assume its not making enough cash there or the tanks need major £££ spent on them and Shell cannot be assed....

I'm lucky in burgess hill too, got 3 shells within 10 minute drive :)

SpecB 29-12-2011 07:34 PM

I used BP once car ran like **** - tesco momentum at a push V power all the way!

Hongkongfooi 29-12-2011 07:36 PM

i'm due to go over to Co Waterford in a few months (Where the mrs is from) so what garages do 97ron over there ? will be handy to have a garage name to keep an eye out for

I did plan to fill up before we got the ferry, drive to her parents and then not use the car till we was due to come back cuz I heard you could only get 95ron over there. if i can get 97 ron though i'll bring some octane booster so I can still use the car

simba 31-12-2011 02:34 PM

Wadhurst shell closed
 
wadhurst shell closed at mo !! drove over to get some in the can and all closed up and no signage so t wells closest now poo 35 min drive for the good stuff

Nige 31-12-2011 02:54 PM

I normaly get my car mapped on 97ron I know this is not good to get max performance on the rollers. However it should help if I can't get 99ron at some point. What do you mappers reckon is best?:norty:

paulT25 31-12-2011 04:58 PM

The Wigmore [Kent] station shut this year not a major problem as there is one in Gillingham.
One on the A25 outside of Maidstone has also shut.
I use there site for station location, before I do a long trip.

nearly most petrol stations sells 95ron:brickwall:

youl need to be on the lookout for either maxol for e5= 99ron
or texaco with tecron for 97ron

Godstone is only for use if you are absolutely desperate as its always more expensive there! (You forgot Sanderstead and Addington as well! ;))

I've got a V-Power finder for my TomTom. Brilliant add on and its actually more accurate than Shell's own station finder!

Oh yeah, and that one: we've get Shell garages to spare round here! :lol:

Lucky 04-01-2012 08:12 PM

Luckily I have one at the bottom of my road, but if that shut, then its preston park, brighton, which would be a nightmare.
