I bet that got your attention

Not quite free fuel, but downloadable £1 vouchers for any fill-up of 30 litres or more - the offer isn't particularly prominent on the Shell website - I've just downloaded two vouchers, which I will use for two fill-ups tomorrow.

That represents a saving of about half the 7p premium that you normally pay for V-Power (assuming you fill up with just the 30 litres - its less effective if you fill up from empty)

Shell voucher downloads

Two vouchers max (per IP address )

cheers for that Nigel!!

Bah you lie !!!! ban him cheers for the penny saver though

is it worth putting v power in the coop?

if it's chipped it's pretty much recommended i think? there are added detergents that are supposed to be better for the engine too, cleaning better than it's predecessors or the competition....is it snake oil? don't ask me, but i use it...

I'm not sure it's worth it, but someone will come along in a minute and prove me wrong no doubt!

It's worth putting v power in, the car reacts a hell of a lot better with it in!!

Cheers for those Nigel

Many Thanks Nigel

Thanking you.

Back in the days of optimax, here was an engine i stripped down that had been running normal petrol :



And here is my blown engine that was run on optimax :



Quite noticeable difference on the carbon deposits

quite a noticeable difference there

But your blown engine didn't run long enough to get dirty!

Oh it had Pete, the engine was 50k when i bought it and it did a few years in the tipo before it went in the coupe

Ok, I didn't know the full history, I thought it was rebuilt just before it went pop the first time.

My little N/A 1.6 seems to run smoother with Optimax (or any of the higher octane ones) No real improvement in performance, it just idles well and "purrs" IKWIM

Where does it say max 2 vouchers per IP address? (apart from Nigel's OP?)

In my old 911 there's no discernable improvement in performance, but it's common for the electric fuel pumps on them to be noisy. I find it's *far* quieter running on V-Power. I wasn't expecting this so I know it's not a placebo effect, but it does make you wonder that if it's doing that much to a fuel pump it must being doing some good to the rest of the system.

Try running on a tank of normal unleaded until empty then fill up with v power, i guarantee you'll notice the difference, i do each time, mpg is noticeably better too

It doesn't say it anywhere, but when you try to print a third voucher, it tells you that you've reached your limit

Cheers Nigel. Used it today, although the cashier looked at me strangely as she hadn't seen one before.

They don't print from Virtual Machines either, nor work on Windows 7 with IE8.

I tried to use mine today, but I use a company fuel card, and the purchase can't be split - gave them to the kids to use instead
