Default optimax only for import?

hi,is optimax the only fuel imports can run on safely or would normal petrol do with octane booster mixed?
the reason for asking is because my local shell garage is closing and then the nearest shell garage is 7 miles away

I've got a Tesco's nearby (4 miles away) that does 99. But if I drive 10 miles up the road I can get it for 3 a litre less. Either way I've got to drive - that's the price I pay for driving an import.

There's usually three pumps, black for diesel, two greens, one with a white 95 in a green circle, one with a green 99 in a white circle.
