Hi chaps!

I'm stuck in Essex with no V-Power to be had anywhere locally!

Do any of you know where I might get some??

It really is a pathetic state of affairs this petrol shortage malarkey!!

Normal fuel plus a can of octane booster if you're fussy, or Tesco 99. That'll do fine IMO.

Can you just buy standard stuff and an octane booster?

Just fill up with Tesco99. I use V-Power and Tesco99 interchangeably in my MR2 Turbo, no difference other than price!

100% genuine, I use them all the time. Saves time waiting at the pumps and it stops me being tempted by offers on Crisps, Pasties and Sweets meaning I've lost 2 stone in 6 months.

It sure is, I usually struggle to find some good quality Vin Diesel around these parts but now I'm laughing.

"Ultra Low Cost Value Unleaded (50 RON)
Especially popular with Rover Metro and Nissan Micra drivers, our 50 RON ULCVU fuel is made from refinery leftovers. This is a very inexpensive fuel indeed as it is actually classified as industrial waste rather than fuel."

What car?

You should be able to use 95RON and just avoid full load.

Better to drive gently than not at all.

Bog standard unleaded plus a bottle or two of 'proper' octane booster (e.g. Miller's EcoBoost or CVL) that give 2-5 RON grades - NOT one of the expensive NOS products which give 2-5 RON POINTS (i.e. 0.2-0.5 RON grades)
