How much is Petrol / Diesel in your local area?

In South London is has dropped to 105.9p (Yes I am going back to pence) at a Shell garage. Can you beat that?

This started on another thread but I thought it would be a little distraction. Gradley found Petrol in in NW England for 99p! can anyone beat that?

With all the panic buying in the supermarkets I went out and filled my car up just before lock down doh! :lol:

99p was at the local Sainsbury's, slightly more at BP.

I use Shell V power which is down to £1.25 at my local garage. Normal fuel is £1.09 there but I have seen it as low as 99.9 at other garages.

What benefits do you get by using V power?

Better fuel economy and performance mainly. Think it provides better engine protection as well.

I agree with Skyrimmer and another plus point is that Shell offset the carbon released from their premium V-Power by funding an equivalent carbon capture by tree planting. Drive with just a little less guilt about global warming!

Do you know by how much your fuel economy increases?

In what way do you notice a change in performance?
