Just to use to seeing the good old red lable saying vpower nitro :angst:

Eh? That makes no sense.... Shell have invested bucketloads into promoting VPower almost as its own separate brand. Can't believe they'd sack it off now, to me 'super unleaded' makes me think of generic supermarket 97 ron stuff, not 99 VPower.

Steve_PPP 13-12-2017 09:34 AM

Nah, i'm not buying this, Shell website shows nothing different, still promoting vpower everywhere..

Maybe they figured everyone in that part of the UK drives tractors and doesn't need full fat 99 ron :lol:

We don't have Shell anymore, as closed down, so Tesco for me.

Are those new pumps at that station Scott? It looks to me as if they are still in a generic stage and yet to be properly branded. Either that or another fuel provider is sneaking their way in to that service station and barging Shell out (as happened in Uckfield).

Not a chance Shell would avoid using the V-Power brand, it’s what they are known for!

Who wants to play a game of match the symbols?
