Thumbs down Optimax in Sheffield ?

After getting my weekly fill of Optimax at the Shell station in Gleadless for the last 2 years, it has just (last night) been changed to a Total station.
Now where do I get my Optimax from ?? Sheffield scoobs please help.

Funny, that the last place I filled up....on the way to to Brookhill roundabout it is.

The blonde is nice...thought the optimax was a penny dearer for me...and it seems to run our quicker....must be the new spoiler

Aint it about 89.9p per litre up there still,i was in there a couple of weeks ago filling up the works van and a bloke in a merc compressor refused to pay for his petrol because of the price differance compared to the other shell garages
Dont know what happened in the end,i left whilst he was having a bluey with the manager

Yep, Don't fill up there anymore...well not for the Scooby anyway. I asked if Optimax was going to come down in price and got the usual dunno answer.

Shame as it was very handy fir the 'restaurant' next door

TOTAL? wtf?

As already mentioned the garage in Shalesmoor is reasonably central and not too dear. The garage at the bottom of Ecclesall Rd always used to be dear though.....

Never really noticed any optimax garages in Sheffield. Been using BP (Totley garage now shut), Meadowhead and Chesterfield.

i know how you feel i used to use shell garage at killamarsh but that one has shut down aswell luckily handsworth is close too, BP at crystal peaks sell that ultimate stuff but still slightly down on octane compared to optimax, i think it does really make a difference! its all i've ever used in all my cars.
