On my "other" forum, you would be told to stand in the corner for using 95RON.
I have an R32, one of the last off the line infact. She is the concorde of Golfs, I don't think they will make one like that again in my lifetime thanks to the tree huggers
Here's a picture of her in all her shiny black glory...

That is like saying, next time you fly somewhere, don't bother paying for a CE or F, Y will still get you there

Finally, we agree on something! Momentum is better than V-power
So none of this really makes the Shell Drivers Club much cop, considering Tesco fuel is just as good, and most importantly (and relevantly!), Tesco fuel earns more Avios!
The point is there is a 4 x 2,000 bonus going on, I can't be bothered to do the maths right now, but it's a pretty strong bonus for a relatively small spend/inconvenience.
