Default No Optimax In Scotland?

Visted 4 Shell garages and all had no Optimax and couldn`t say when next deliveries would be. Anyone use BP Ultimate or know of any Optimax in the Glasgow area?

I wonder what's going on. There's none in Cumbernauld, Falkirk, Kilsyth, Stirling, and Perth.

Nipped along to Arbroath for a half-tankful of their "cheap" Optimax last night but they too have now run out.

I had trouble finding it too when I was up there around Stirling last week.

The first one I found on the return home was at Carlisle Road - Douglas, they were charging a whopping 103.9p/litre Most I have ever paid for it!

Ended up using Esso Supreme SUL instead while I was up there, car didn't seem to mind at all!

Notied that the one at Cumbernauld on the A80 was empty at the last Hot Hatch at Knockhill (April.)

I stay on the southside and have had no problems recently.

Spiersbridge roundabout

or

Near Safeway Newlands (near the roundhouse)

or

Eglington Toll (although they only accept cash prior to payment - no use for a fuel card!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I've not had any problems. They have it at Hamilton and on the A71 to Edinburgh, there's 4 Shell garages, all of them have it. Livingston seems to be the cheapest, with the NUL @ 95.9 and i think optimax @ 97.9.
