Shell V-Power...?

  Top of Page

Hey peoples!!

Have I been hiding under a rock somewhere or has the name change from Optimax to V-Power been really badly publicised?!?!  :Dntknw:

I don't usually use Shell so I was a bit confused when I went to one yesterday and there was no Optimax and the only thing advising of the name change was a sticker about the size of a brake pad...!  :mda:

Maybe it's just coz I'm blonde lol

K  :grin:

Although I don't use Shell, so I could be wrong

yeah we can get everything else except optimax. got something to do with whats in it.

theres places that sell different grades of race fuel at the pump, so why not optimax everywhere i say.

rocked up to BP tonight the same time as a guy in a VY commodore. we both stop either side of the solitary BP ultimate pump.

i'm like "err, you need ultimate?"

he goes "nahh. if you drove a real car you only need regular".

sweet. the BP near me is the only servo around here not to increase prices on wednesdays, the night my pay goes in, so i got ultimate @ $1.22/lt tonight.

Aaah... did he have the good old "Only Milk and Juice comes in 2L" sticker on the back of his car?!?

Nice work getting Ultimate so cheap, tends to go up here on a Tue night so you've got to be on the ball or you pay the premium!  :angry2:

I have found I get the best economy from V power. as well as over all performance. Not a major increase, but a noticeable one. :victory:
