  • Shell Driver's Club / V-Power Club 26 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    Hello, I have had a Shell Driver's Club card for a few years, a couple of months ago they sent me a V-Power Club card, apparently this offers additional benefits on the purchase of V-Power fuel though points can also be accrued on purchases of normal Shell fuel. I now have a letter saying that following the withdrawal by Citi of the Shell Mastercard I will be able to collect double points on my Shell Driver's Club card account, no mention of the V-Power Club card.

  • 2010 Seat Leon FR CR170 - Petrol in a diesel AAAARGH!!! 5 Sep 2012 (Forum)
    Anyone think that the HPFP may be ruined? As an aside the pump at the Shell station I was using only had regular unleaded, V-Power unleaded and V-Power diesel.
