New super duper Optimax
I just Called Shell Customer service and they say the new Optimax is not just a rumour and it is being released soon..........in the Autumn to be precise, but no actual release date. Rumor is that is is going to be higher octane and likley to be 100 ron too. They also said it would be rolled out to all Stations simutaneously and not region by region like the Tesco stuff.

Who cares how much.
When fuel prices increase why do people go on and on about it?
WE NEED IT, SO JUST GO BUY IT or get a push bike.
Why buy a Scooby if fuel prices worry you.
Oh, I also hate threads on Scooby boards that begin "what is the cheapest"
Damn, you own a scoob, who wants cheapest?
OK nuff said, had my rant and I appoligise SORRY

Well I've just called them to see if there was any truth in this.....
and they say no - Optimax is not being withdrawn, nor is it being replaced with a higher octance product.
They admitted they were having a number of distribution problems which is why it's scarce at the moment, however I was told these problems whould hopefully be fully resolved over the next week.

funny...i just called Shell Customer services:
They said there has been a shortage of fuel due to transport issues and all should be resolved by the end of the week....SHELL: +44 (0) 20 7934 1234
They said they have no news of any change in fuel to 100ron....
will try calling again, see if they give me a different answer...

thanks for all you guys out there finding this information out, but you really must have time to waste. What bearing does knowing a higher octane fuel is coming out at some stage in the future hold over the present
I'll be sticking with the Shell brand and its top fuel, however i struggle to care when the fuel will arrive and how much etc it will cost, speculation will achieve nothing so i'll be sitting tight not getting into a flap over it all

So if fuel reaches £2 a litre you'll keep smiling will you?
What about £3 or maybe even £4 still happy?
Honestly sometimes you really are a dumb ***

I hav'nt bought the scoob to sit and look at it on the drive from my window.
I've not once said I am smiling at the cost of fuel, I just see no reason for moaning about it.
It's not going to get any better

Therefore the cost of fuel is always a concern and definitely something to moan about.
People saying I'll buy this new stuff whatever it cost is just giving a green light to the greedy fuel companies to charge more.
PS if money is no object, get yourself down to one of the BP stations selling the 103RON stuff, that's a real bargain only £2.42 a litre, let us know how you get on with it!
