Gee Wr1 Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Was down at the D1 drifting at Knockhill yesterday & filled up at the Optimax station just near there. As i was paying the Lady behind counter was telling me that was the new Optimax they had delivered i just put in my tank, i though she ment that it was just a fresh delivery but she went on to say that it was the new blend & they are starting to put it out to stations but not saying anything as yet & it will be launched officially in a few weeks. said they were wanting people to get a couple of tanks through their cars before making the big launch. Oh nearly forgot the important bit.......IT'S 100 RON Had half a tank of optimax from Inverness in & then filled up with new stuff so can really comment properly yet.
RA Dunk Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 they gave ya the new stuff at the cost of the old stuff?? sounds ok if its true [] cant remember meeting you yesterday did you come by the stand?
dougster Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 A WR1 did rumble past down the rear track at Duffus (or whatever it's called these days) WIY?
Gee Wr1 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Posted July 2, 2006 Acid - Yep usual sort of price for there £1.03. Nope sorry didn't meet you, we were only at stand at end of the day. Dougster - Not me, mine was in car park all day. Did spot another 2 there & 1 of them was parked behind Duffas.
RA Dunk Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 i have hear about it m8 , but didnt know it was on the streets yet
the squiggle Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Paddy247 posted up this find a couple of weeks ago along with GMac Heres hoping it gets rolled out soon across the board
spooks Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 We can but hope, we need someone with a knocklink to try it out an report on any probs. I know its 100ron but BP claim there "ultimate" is 98 and lights up a few Knocklinks like Christmas. Anyone else think Shell will Fleece us when this goes on general sale or is it just me being the normal sceptic? Spooks
iain_ogston Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 So now optimax plus CVL gives about 104 RON!!! time for another remap.
Double Zero Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 The Shell garage in Camelon have the new 100 Ron optimax ,I was up earlier and filled the car up with it ,best get some before they put the price up its still 100.9 Litre.[li]
thefastone Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Just about right though... Get you hooked on the stuff, then jack the price up... As if its not expensive enough as it is!!!! Still, I'll be able to afford it soon.... []
Double Zero Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Its still cheaper up north my brother lives in Blairgowrie and its less than a quid a litre,hes filling up every other dat as he runs a twin turbo supra[6]
col666 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 I've used the Powmill rocket fuel a couple of times and have noticed better throttle response.
uk_Mo Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 will it still be ok to run my Jap Import WRX 95MY on Millers octane booster (2 Ron) and 100RON Optimax without doing any damage? Mo
Ross9 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 So does anyone know when this will be officially launched, and if there is any list of where it can be obtained. Having an STi Type R being able to get 100RON straight from the pump would be great news. Cheers Ross
FastScooby Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Seemingly they are waiting till every shell has at least 2 tanks of optimax before they launch the stuff officially
