I think I filled up there last week. Filled my little Fiesta commuter with V Power diesel instead of regular by mistake. £1.20 odd a litre! Won't be doing that again.

Hi Guys, been running the serena van (diesel) on bio-diesel,found a supplier within 400 yard of where I live. The van is going good and only 90p per litre. A mate at work gave me the number, he's been using it in his pajero for a while with no problems. Beats the sh*t out of the local garage at 116 per litre!!!!!

From what I understand all fuel, both petrol and diesel, has by law to contain a certain proportion of bio-fuel - from Monday I think, but not sure whether that's next Monday or last Monday....

  my mate Al runs both his Skoda and his Audi out of Lidl's, about 45p a litre and does a lovely plate of chips with any left over. No additives, no filtering, no pre heaters just a couple of gallons of diesel with every fill. It works for him.

My lad wanted a ~ FREE ~ Ferrari from Shell last week, so we stopped off to fill up.
They only come ~ FREE ~ if you use V-Power, which was 7p a litre more than regular unleaded.
You need 30 litres of the stuff to get a car, so £2.10 more than buying regular petrol, if my maths is right.

The best bit, you can buy the cars in the shop for £1.99!!

What a bargain, we wont be using shell again..........................
