Filled up with Tesco's 99 today, still only 93p a litre, optimax is 99.9!
At that price i'm sure they will have plenty left!

if all this is true (Optimax shortage) I wonder what they'll blame this time ??? Hasn't been any more fire's.

Look like another case of Shell ******* off it's customers again, while making £13 Billion pounds profit.
