Wierd as a few weeeks ago it was 83.9p from my local shell garage, then it dropped to 79.9, and last night it was 77.9p a litre

Hope they havent got their prices wrong, as the next Shell Garage (1/2 mile away on the same road), is still 83.9, as is the Motorway Services (about 2 miles from my house)

The US are lifting trade embargo's on Iraq now so (hopefully) we will see oil prices, and therefore petrol prices, dropping again.

the best thing about this Shell Garage is that it is less than a mile away from my house

Hope it stays low then, i've got loads of Optimax stations round me, but not using it since i bought the new car.

Would be tempted to go onto it if they were going to kep the prices low.

Lastime i bought it, i paid 83.9 too.

Question


Someone tell me, is Optimax worth the extra dosh?
I'm running a 1.8 GL impreza, '93, if that changes anyone's opinion, but I'm never sure about this. Extra fuel economy? What is the difference? - especially when I can get u/l for 73p in other places.
Anyone?
Ta! C.

Exclamation

Last week I asked a guy in a Shell garage in Belfast if Optimax had reached Norn Iron yet. He replied "What's that then, a new type of credit card?"
I also tried to fill up near the M1 (Shell, Stockmans Lane) and they had their pumps on s-l-o-w so that the joyriders don't get away with much. I gave up after £20 as I figured I had better things to do with my life. Took nearly 10 minutes!

Yep thats the one, just off Jct 7 M62

Funny I filled up there again today and it is still 77.9p, just been to London & back, and got 370 miles out of a full tank, damn economical that Shell Garage

But DO NOT USE HILTON PARK Services, I pulled up there to fill up, and SUL was 86.9p a Litre, so I put a tenner in, and it has just got me home, so back to the Shell Garage in the morning for another fill up

Sonic - which Shell petrol station is that? The one at Rainhill Stoops or Ace of Hearts on Liverpool Road.

Cheers,

Ayde.

Damn. Thanks to a weak pound, Dutch petrol is now dearer than your stuff!!

So if you guys are paying 78p / litre you have cheaper petrol than Holland. I pay = 84p litre (€1.18) for 98RON super.

Bloody rip off Holland!! Mumble, mumble it's all Balkenende's fault etc. etc. etc.

Nice weekend

Suresh

79.9 in Northampton last night. Milton Keynes is always 3-4 pence a litre more than Northampton.

Morrison's supermarket (supplied by Texaco) had normal 95 RON unleaded for 72.9 as did Tesco's.
