Anyone heard/read why Shell has been unable to supply V-Power fuel? I've asked service station attendents and they don't have an answer ;)

No, Shell Ultra is only 95 here in Auckland too.

After trying Shell 95 for a while I've decided BP 98 is the way to go for me, performance is better and its at least as economical. Especially since you can get 6c/litre off at BP with a Woolworths till receipt.

That is meant to be over 95, like Challenge was also higher than the usual Shell/BP.

My cousin works for Shell and he says V-Power is manufactured down in Melbourne and supply has outstripped demand. Most Shell service stations in Sydney no longer have any V-Power and might not have some for a few more days.

So I take it that V-Power is an Australian thing, it doesn't seem to be a product that Shell NZ have.

Linky for our Australian friends ... V-Power availability

Discount at BP is from Pak n Save and NW. Countdown and Woolworths discount is at Shell. Anyone know where Mobil 8000 can be got in Chch if at all, cos I would prefer not to go to BP if I can avoid it, but it's not worth going across town for
