Nope, never had a problem - except when they run out


79ppl is the max price, spend £100 in-store & its 75ppl

So that's a saving of £2 per tankful (assuming 50l fillup)

I find it strange not many on here talk about it, always seems to be optimax rules dont like the stuff myself as the car feels unpedictable on spool up, found ultimate flat but sainsburys seems to be on par with esso SUL, nice smooth power delivery and a nice throaty chat from the super drager

Thumbs up here too for Sainsburys SUL - I have tried Optimax which seemed to differ from tank to tank whereas the Scoob definitely seems happier/smoother on Sainsburys SUL.....MY00 ppp

Sainsburys' is fine by me too, and as shell have decided to avoid my area like the plague for an unknown reason, I'm stuck with it as I won't touch BP anymore.

funny that because I also use 100 octane V-Power at 72ppl from my local shell garage which also gives me 10 smart points per litre and I have a knocklink fitted.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Doppel-Punkten I've almost got enough points now for one of those Kärcher jet wash things!

I paid 61p/ltr for 98 RON Shell fuel at my last fill up (in Spain approx 40m miles from my house)

Anyone found any cheaper than that?

No cheating and including hire car fill ups in the states!

Close, I can pop over the border to Austria (about 20 miles) and get 99 Octane Shell Optimax for 66ppl (€0.99/l). 5p & 1 octane more than Spain.

It might be the best fuel in the world but I refuse to buy anything from Sainsbury while they continue to line the pockets of that annoying tosspot Jamie Oliver.

But surely Pete if you were to burn him alive it would be fitting to 'baste' him in Sainsbury's finest, non?
