Anyone used it yet?
The shell near my work seems to be the cheapest around at 114.9p
But is using it going to sacrifice power and performance at the benefit of efficiency?

They only have the Fuelsave and V-Power stuff at the garage near me.
I haven't noticed any difference

I filled up on this last night, was the cheapest fuel near me.
Is it worth while getting a shell reward card?

Saving a litre a tank will save you about 55 quid a year.
I bet you'd be hard pushed to save that 1 litre too tbh.

how can you be sure you drive exactly the same though? what if you stopped at 50 traffic lights for 15 minutes total on one tank, but only stopped at 30 lights for 7 minutes total on another?
theres so many variables it's impossible to make a comparison.

I had a quick read up on the website, it does seem like they're making a fuss over nothing
A litre a tank and £50 a year doesn't seem all that great

Yup, and thats why they can get away with saying it.

everytime you fill up you get points associated with the number of litres
Then after a given period you get vouchers for money off fuel
Dont get me wrong you have to use it quite a bit but every little helps
I also seem to get the best renage and performance from Shell fuels
When I had the TT the only fuel that gave similar results was Tesco 99
However now on derv shell seems the best
Worst I have had is tesco

Have you got an LCR? Because my Ibiza Cupra used to return pretty good MPG however it was driven Actually averaged better than my current 1.8 Astra does

Think i might sign up for the shell reward card as i spend over £400 a month. Tried the fuel save not noticed any difference to the cheaper stuff from asda.

Yeah, LCR. But not for long as I'm hoping someone buys it soon.
