Red and silver for the V-Power points and then red and yellow for the company's account.

My local Total garage (I can see it from out the window kind of local) is going to be knocked down and turned in a shell garage (New tanks, shop, car wash and all), which is quite handy as I like a bit of v power (Nearest shell garage is about 8 miles away at the minute)

Annoying. Nearest Shell is 20 miles away but until a few months ago there was a Total garage a mile down the road. It's since become YET ANOTHER Texaco, happily charging 7p a litre more than everyone else.

I was promoted up to a red V-power card, but that was before I swapped my 3.0 daily for a 0.0 litre. I'm half expecting a knok on the door to ask for it back.

All well and good but sadly the clackets shell is being tuned into a BP.

So unless your pockets are lined with gold fill up early.

I am also pleased about the new services being built just before the a3. It is amazing how few places there are to stop and fill up on the m25 south.

I stopped using my Shell card as it never, ever works. The cashier either tries and tries until he gives up, or pretends it's worked and gives it back to me. I'm on my 3rd card now, all the same.

Hmm, local to me there's

3x Shell
2x Total
1x Tesco
0x other

Time to call those guys who investigate monopolies, or get a Shell rewards card.
