disgusted with optimax prices - any options?
ok - so I've finally had enough... my local shell garage is now in uber rip off mode and asking over a quid for a litre..(for optimax).. this has to stop....
are there any other fuels I can use in my my97 JDM sti 3??? I heard Tescos did a 99ron fuel (or sumfink like that) .... is it any good??
or shoudl I just sell it and buy a bl**dy metro.....
heeeelllpp please....

Here's one but there's a few on here: http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...=441321&page=2
Filled up at Bedford1 today 97.9p/ltr
BTW The car's mapped for Optimax + booster. Don't need the booster with 99

Hi Mickey
Tescos in Crawley at Three Bridges does the 99ron but after using it for a while in an STI 5 type R I've now gone back to Optimax. Although this is painfull to buy it now idles better as not coaking up my stepper motor ! It's the old thing 'buy cheep buy twice' !
I'm sure people will have other views on this
Cheers Col

Dread to think how much BP Ultimate is now.

I reckon my 03STiPPP feels a bit better on Esso Supreme but I play safe and stick a bit of Millers OB in with it. Theres a Tesco Express here in Romford selling the Esso at 97.9p The local Optimax is 100.9 (last time I was in there)
