since owning my scooby from christmas my localish shell optimax has gone up from 83.9p to 90.9 a litre

so how much do you pay and where are you......

 

90 today in MK

 

between 87 & 89

 

87.9 Bolton it was 83.9 last week

 

89.9 in newport south wales, its starting to get silly

 

91.9 in essex!!!!!!!!!!

 

94.9 on the M6 today

 

Local Shell garage (Chippenham) ran out last week and I had to creep along and buy some (for the first and last time) from one near Bath at 93.9p per litre (£4.27 a gallon).

 

so were soon be paying £1 a litre then

 

That's half the price of water at motorway services, which is the biggest rip off?

 

89.9p Nottingham

 

stop buying optimax!! If people stopped buying it for a while - shell might stop taking the p!ss out of you all.... Buy some other super-unleaded instead for a while.... you might even find that there isn't a difference.

you can just imagine the brand name meeting for it - "Right then chaps, we're going to charge a fookin fortune for this petrol.... what shell we call it?

 

I see your point but Shell Optimax is cheaper than Esso Super and BP Ultimate around my way!

 

90.9 in Basingstoke today and 89.9 in Newbury

 

93.9 this morning at Peartree on the A34

 

92.9 in Yarm (Teesside) last night.......I paid 85.9 a week ago. Has regular unleaded done the same?

 

94.7 cardiff

 

91.9 on the A1 yesterday, filled it with normal unleaded at 86.9, still a rip off.

I'll be refilling with Sainsburys S/UL or normal UL today, I refuse to pay the current inflated prices for Esso and Optimax.

 

Salisbury, but the local shell is Amesbury 89.something

 

AIUI the price of diesel will increase more than the price of petrol because of huge demand </smug grin>

 

87.90 westhoughton and bolton

 

cripes , mines gone up again today ...92.9 eek

 

90.9 in MK yesterday, normal unleaded was 84.9 an increase of 2p a litre from the day before.

 

2 weeks ago optimax was 86.9, filled up yesterday and its gone up to 92.9!!.

Instead of 44 odd quid it cost £48!

Has anyone tried the sainsburys stuff?

 

run my WR1 on sainsbury's super and it aint blown up yet!
I will try some optimax again sometime just to convince myself I'm not missing anything - apart from getting stiffed by the tossers at shell that is!

i wouldn't dream of running it on normal u/l, but I reckon that there can't be much between the various varieties of super - at least not for an unmodified engine.

At the end of the day, Prodrive "recommend" running it on Super Unleaded (not specifically optimax). I use super unleaded, if the engine goes **** up, then IM can fix it under warranty.

 

Just gone up to 89.9 in derby

 

Fuel protest I recon..!

 

93.4

 

Started at 89.9, found some at 82.9 and last time I filled up it was 87.9!

Wonder what it be next time

 

89.9 round my way was paying 82.9 up to last week

they make a big fuss about petrol when price drops but no one mentions a thing when it creeps back up to what it was

petrol+britain = ripoff
