The 'shell' garage you are talking about is actually an 'esso' garage - used to live in louth + only filled up my van up with diesel there last week. they do sell 97ron super unleaded but it's usually quite expensive.

tesco are doing 97 ron you know! you can get it at the humberstone one

or if i get caught out i use sainsburys 97 (only 2p more than 95) but its not as potent as optimax. my cars run fine on it tho many a time when shell was charging £1 per litre.

Waste of time, I ended up putting some Texaco 95 Ron and a bottle of octane booster (STP) no rating on the bottle though and it was a fiver.

are you after branded oil or some cheap stuff? if its cheap then go to ME AUTOPARTS. they do cheap semi for £6. i use GTX magnatec in mine £20 for 5 litres. asda have quite a good selection. we got 5 litres of Mobil 1 10/40 mineral for £8 (oil and filter for vix car tomorrow ).

got 5% on nfsmw . very impresive intro to the game. tidy graphics. bit jerky tho
