Has anyone else had the issue with not be able to get any????

Cant seem to get it any where!!

 

Not filled up the cossie since september but available near me.

 

Been harder to get fuel recently as pumps seem to be empty more of the time but lucky 99% of people go for ordinary unleaded so leaves V-Power always available for me. Prices are getting ridiculous though will be £1.30 before we know it

 

Paid £1.22 for it yesterday Loads available as nobodys paying that much for it anymore,lol

 

I swore by v power, used it almost every time in the capri in thw two years Ive owned it. I refused to pay the 1.23 for it yesterday tho and I didnt notice it run any worse (I use castrol lead replacement with added octane boost). As long as normal unleaded is available I shall be using that from now on x

 

i'm gutted on run the RS on optimax any every shell station i've been to has got none......i asked the guy behind the counter and he said they are going to stop doing optimax (DICK) hope we get some more soon she dont like normall unleaded looses it's edge

 

Is it even called optimax these days? I thought it was V power :s Optimax was 98 ron, v power is 99 x

 

i had trouble getting it the other day went to 3 different fuel stations but did find some eventually!!!!

 

Beat me to it

 

Not been able to get any Optimax for years, I have had to make do with something called V-Power instead.


Cheers,

i had to pay £1.20.9 yesterday from my local round the corner,,,

normally 1.16.9 couldnt beleive how fast it went up !

 

No V-power at 2 shells local to me, filled up with BP Ultimate instead at a cost of something rather annoying like 128.9

 

jesus ares has got up to 1.13.9 in two days from 109 but yours lot is bad.

 

the only shell station within 15 miles of here has now become texaco! bp station has closed so can't use ultimate anymore either, stuck with esso super unleaded or that tesco super unleaded stuff which i don't know that i fully trust.

 

Loads In Norwich, filled up full thursday.
tabetha

 

went other day and said its because the filter were broke were the optimax is made and shell only get it from one place so they got fuck all basically.

 

was able to et some near me on friday but not bought any since so who knows!!!

Always wondered, have always been told not to run cossies on 95 ron etc so never have, how would they run if u used 95 with octane boost?! never actually used the stuff but had a few times where ive been on the light and had to pass a couple of stations with 95ron as they were out/didnt do 97+ octane. Was thinkin about having a bottle in the car just incase i ever get caught out again.

Also is tehre any make of octane boost thats better than others?!

 

no v power round this way, or at least at the places i tried

 

Not much around here at the moment , got told deliverys will be out on the 15th.. So should be ok next week.

 

if you HAD to use 95 then just cruise off boost until you fill up then you'll be fine

 

1.18 filled up in bristol on friday night

 

yesterday i noticed near me that diesel was 1p per litre cheaper then petrol!!!!
glad i have 2 derv motors at the moment.

 

I did say end of last year it would be £1.50 a litre by end of 2010. looks like its well on its way!!!

 

Worth giving the Total super a try - always found my ST170 ran well on it. Only problem is finding the one Total in each county that doesn't cost more than ACTUAL liquid gold....

 

would be interesting to see a proper price breakdown versus oil prices and tax rises to prove if its just opec being greedy cunts or if its the oil companies cashing in on the recession as an excuse to hike prices.

Any other industry and they would be in court over price fixing etc

 

£1.22, filled up on saturday, i get better mpg on V power too
