There is currently no Optimax available at Watford/Rickmansworth/Borehamwood/St Albans/Hemel Hempstead/Redbourn.
Shell CS have said they are looking into the supply of unleaded/diesel in preference to Optimax and the situation will not rectify itself until the middle of next week.
I need my fix

How is the supply in your area?

None here

Plenty, and being chucked out at 90.9p ltr I might add!!

we are all out in york , what a bummer

I wonder if it's linked to the 'Hemel Incident' ?

hi , well the shell garage by me has just been refirbed & the top guy on site told me thet shell are going to STOP selling optimax as it has been found to damage fuel lines & rubber seals . could this be true! !

No Optimax in chertsey or bracknell yesterday

had to make do with bp ultimate

No never, not true. It can't have a draw back. Pleeeease no.

No Optimax around winchester either, tad frustating as the car's been revo'd specifically for Optimax

None round Somerset-Wiltshire-Hampshire area...... but tescos have loads of 99 Ron at 89.9p so can live with the problem for a while

Duncan it would have taken you five minutes to go to Warfield Tesco where they do 99 octane! Think it is currently 91p litre

Lot's of it by me on the wirral , in fact the local shell is in front of my garage . Only problem is the car's in bit's.....

I went to three in Milton Keynes that were empty on Monday, but visited the parents in Midlands and filled up no prob's !!!!!!!!!

Yeah I went for the Tesco option since nowhere in the reading area seems to have optimax (or super of any description).

BTW, has anyone found that their fuel consumption ahs reduced somewhat running the 99 RON Tesco stuff over optimax?
