Why wouldn't you be able to? It's a higher grade fuel (diesel or petrol) so if you can afford it you could use it all the time. :?

A tank full of the relevant V-Power every so often is said to work wonders for cleaning the fuel system and injectors.

V-Power diesel is completely different from any other diesel fuel as it is produced by a "Gas to Oil" process, not distilled from heavy crude oil.

I've been hearing reports that filling stations have 'only got V Power left'.

Not a bad wheeze when people have been queueing down the road and only find out when they get to the pump.

Who is going to drive out without purchasing after sitting in a queue and with the prospect of doing it all over again somewhere else?

I had a lucky break today. Went into Tesco and found an offer of 2 x 5 litres of Sunflower for £10.

I'm calling it 'S Power cooking oil', although the calorific value stated is the same as their rapeseed (3700).

You can hardly blame the garages for all the panicking idiots filling up with the cheaper stuff. Idiots calling in to fill up so often and only getting 2 litres in before it's full :twisted: - brainless!!! :roll: :roll:

I really can't believe how many stupid people we have in this country. You couldn't get in to our Tesco today to do any shopping because the access road was blocked by people queuing for the petrol station. Next week we'll all be able fill up easily because the idiots won't be able to get any more in their tanks! :roll: :roll:
