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....

Tesco 99 is good IMO and cheaper :)

Is there a list of Tesco garages that sell RON99 posted anywhere?

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 :rolleyes:
Cheers Col

Not had any problems on my STi3 with it and I've used it whenever possible.

Dread to think how much BP Ultimate is now.

Thanks for the replies - I'll try a tank full and see how she runs....

but still.... 97.9p.... is it me or are they totally taking the p*ss on fuel prices these days??


Mikey :(

Paid £1.04 approx 3 days ago for ultimate, got soem esso super today at £1.02 per litre. Gonna be advertising a kidney on ebay later if anyone is interested!!!:idea:

No mate, you've got it all wrong - you put it in your car, not drink it!
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)

So Tesco's sell esso fuel?? that's ok I suppose - I'll give it a bash....
