WoW Optimax 10p a litre more expensive
 
Just been to fill up at our local shell garage, i nearly died they wanted 10p a litre more than normal unleaded for there optimax. Now i don't mind paying a premium for some decent fuel, but i think that amount is taking the p*ss.

Anyway i am now going to email shell and tell them what a robbing git they are.


Rant off

Sainsburys only charging 2p a litre extra for the 97 RON in York

Stopped using Optimax last month, it's jus to expensive now. Tried Shell SUL at 83p a litre and it seems fine. Optimax was 89p at the time!

Shell have had my business for the last 2 years, but it's not worth the extra cost IMO.

Shell do a 100 ron fuel in Germany called V-Power.

Anyone know if Shell are going to release here in the UK??

I used the V-Power but not in a Impreza. So cannot comment.

Some Shell garages, although under the same name are owned by independants who charge what they like. Wrong IMHO becasue you pull up to a garage for fuel and they're charging loads more than your local!!

Aral also do a 100ron fuel here called Ultimate but I believe they are owned by BP as there is the BP logo on some of the signs. It is good as we now have 2 companies doing 100ron so the price is fairly competative.

is shell still doing normal SUL, thought they had stopped that now with Optimax being out?

Just paid 85.9 for Optimax (was so excited saving 4p a liter I over-filled it :rolleyes: )

So I had to drive 20 miles further than my local shell...but it's where the gf lives so she was pleased to see me!

graham72 23 December 2004 12:55 PM
no shell garages near me and the local Q8 is 95.9 for sul!

jowl 23 December 2004 01:33 PM
Is Q8 petrol some magical go faster fuel?...it''s ALWAYS a lot more expensive than any other garage.

9p a litre more than the Shell normal uleaded in Harrogate :( seems they have not dropped the optimax at all only the normal stuff as optimax is still 88.9p a litre like it has been the last 5 weeks at least.
