Is Shell taking over the world? (With added Jag question)

Every petrol station in the western universe appears to be turning into a Shell. Are they offering free blow jobs to franchise holders or something?
Also should I buy a 2.7 diesel S-Type or get a 3.0 petrol and damn the mpg?
You'll be filling up that often if you get the petrol one, you can ask the garage yourself about the blowjobAlso should I buy a 2.7 diesel S-Type or get a 3.0 petrol and damn the mpg?
I've had the 3.0 X-type & don't know if it's the same engine as the S-type but it's quite a thirsty lump. At 250 miles, you really really needed to find a petrol station (Shell or otherwise!). Nice car the S-type though & very much a bargain now.

I suspect same engine. Numbers say there is 10 mpg between to diesel and 3.0. (I'd like a 4.2 v8 but I don't think I'll be able to afford the fuel!)I've had the 3.0 X-type & don't know if it's the same engine as the S-type but it's quite a thirsty lump.

Got a Shell being converted from a Total where I am.
And as for the Jag question - do you really have to get an S Type?
Well no.And as for the Jag question - do you really have to get an S Type?
But the "rules" are. 200BHP+, minimum 30mpg, <70,000 miles, 4/5 doors, plenty of space inside, < £7k.
S-Types are hitting all those boxes and coming in well under budget. Similar 5 series are available, but always seem to be a bit older or higher mileage.
It'll be replacing a Avensis diesel which I like driving, (lots of motorway cruise and sleep..), but would like more poke.
