99.4 are you sure? thats quite a claim, especially considering optimax isnt actually as high as quoted is it?
i thought it was advertised 98 but was allowed to be 97 or something like that, prob. completely wrong though!
but anyway sounds good, dependant on the price increase which theres bound to be....big rebrand as well

Why can't they continue to sell normal Optimax plus this new stuff.

It's V-Power throughout a lot / most of Europe. Like Si says though you can bet the price goes up accordingly.
At least normal unleaded is only... oh hang on that's a pound a litre now too, still BP as an example only made about 8 billion pound profit this year... poor things lol
