What if ?

Thank you for your reply.

We are unable to advise on the content of Shell Optimax, however I can confirm that our 99 octane unleaded petrol has a minimum RON of 99 and a MON of 87. It exceeds the British Standard Specifications for BS7800 - superunleaded fuel, and BSEN228 premium unleaded. It contains a high level of a detergent additive which exceeds the level of performance specified by Major European Motor Manufacturers, to help keep engine fuel systems clean.

Here is an updated list of stores which this sell this fuel together with the dates of forthcoming stores, this list from Head office suggests our Portsmouth and Havant stores should already have begun selling it:

Thats what I was thinking, there's none in the West Midlands, but you get 99RON in Bishop Stortford where theres all of 5 cars in the village.

zappa

off to Brooklands tonight then!

bobthebodger

why all down there

gubby

Bishops Stortfords a Metropolis m8 not a village. They have a railway station and a pub. They even used to have a Lancia dealership

sgcooby

None in or due to be coming to Scotland??? That sucks a bit.

DBY

Because we are "considerably richer than yow" LOL

sgcooby

Thats just your compensation for having to live in England.

What if ?

at least we know it does have detergets for cleaning the fuel system though.

Robbie T

iTrader: (8)

Nope, cos you're all too tight to buy it

sgcooby

No wonder. Have you seen the price of Haggis and Kilts!!!

Nich B

Actually there are 12 but all Subarus, and Ive got 2

But it rusted away!

All theses detergents aren't a good thing!
I know of many people that have had there engines knackered due to only using Supermarket petrols with all their detergents!

Supermarket petrol is cheaper for a reason!

JackClark

I've been running it for a while now and the car feels a bit blunt. Not as punchy as when on Optimax. Probably all in my head, but I'll be changing back next tank.

DBY

It's fantastic stuff and only 90.9 a litre

What if ?

maybe run 1 tank per month of Optimax to keep it nice and sweet

We get 100 Ron from both Shell in the form of V-Power and BP/Aral in the form of Ultimate.

Adam M

if you want high octane petrol upnorth, then why not get your dodgy northern scum supermarkets to sell it, like morrissons!

and at the same time you can get them to stay up north, with their dodgy yellow and black colour scheme and their "value" range!

iTrader: (6)

Well thats just rap aint it !!!

I'm gonna get my picnic board and protest outside tesco

pappasmurf

iTrader: (16)

I used to live there when I was about 10, when my dad was in the Army, I can only remember that there was not to many things about, Just fields.

sgcooby

Thats why we have pubs that are open after 10pm or 11pm whatever ridiculoulsy early time it is dan sath.

GaryScoobNCBR

My car runs great on tescos 99 ron, although i get mine from Brookfield which doesn't appear to be on there list ????

bobthebodger

Ok have added them all into a TomTom POI file here. Its done from the Greenergy list rather than the one above as it has more entries! Let me know if anyone spots any mistakes as Ive cribbed the Tesco positions from somewhere else.....
