Shell Optimax running dry in Newport
 
Guy's,

Just to let you know that Shell optimax is running dry in Cwmbran, Malpas Road, Newport and Newbridge.

Running on fumes and garage hopping hoping to find some fuel, Chepstow Road Shell is the only one selling the stuff.

You lot with your thirsty cars up that way see:lol1: The shell by me has some at 127.9:eek:

matscooby 19 March 2010 11:56 PM

Blinkin hell, its only 120.9 here, I think I'd rather run dry than pay 127

Bit of a national shortage of V power at the moment, looks like the octane booster might come in handy.

Silver Scooby Sport 20 March 2010 10:29 AM

I better get the booster in the boot ready then.

STI Glenn 20 March 2010 11:39 AM

No problem use Tesco 99

Do they sell 99 at Spitty Glenn?

DannyBoy007 20 March 2010 08:12 PM

Ran out up this way, tried three today and they are all dry.

Had to use Tesco's 97 + booster

The Stitcher 21 March 2010 12:36 AM

is there any reason why there is no v power in the shell garages ???????

ryan33hks 21 March 2010 01:50 AM

Yes, too many Subaru on the road! :D

_KENDO_ 21 March 2010 03:36 AM

Affected up here aswell! Not sure if anyone is familiar with the places but will post them just incase. Overton, Wishaw is out of V-Power also Newmains is completely out..

However Tesco 99 in plenty supply so is BP ultimate 97? So whats the problem Shell?

I Always use shell, but if none I use Tesco 99, I don't touch BP whatsoever! :nono:

i'm pretty sure it was £1.22 a litre today

matscooby 24 March 2010 10:39 PM

Its the first time I've used another super-unleaded today besides Shell, I've had to buy some Tesco 99 at Spytty at £1.20 alitre which wasn't bad.

It'll be interesting to see how it compares to V Power now.
