  • MINI Cooper S - V - Power fuel 21 Dec 2014 (Forum)
    Evening guys, I own a 64 plate Mini Cooper SD, I'm looking for your thoughts on V Power diesel? I've noticed it's around 8p per litre more, is it worth it?

  • Any - Shell V Power Price Premium 10 Oct 2024 (Forum)

For the last few months the average premium at the Shell stations has been around 11 or 12 pence.
