FastScooby Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 After going to the fossoway shell station @ crook of devon to fill up.. after 2 miles my car is now popping and farting like a good ain [].. it was popping and banging before the lovely new stuff but it is more noticeable now [] And is quicker getting up to speed and the throttle response is really good now Well done Shell []
RA Dunk Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 ive filled up about 4 times since saturday once in aberdeen once in dundee and twice in peterhead and havent come across this stuff yet!! []
STi_Bandit Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 You going to get it dynoed with the new super fuel in see if it is squeezing any extra bhp outta the car? Martin
st3ph3n Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 oobster, my arse dyno says EHHHHOHHHHHH so far from Bellshill.
oobster Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Aye, i was in there @ lunchtime today (had to use the cashline so I could go to Greggs for a couple of pies....mmmm...Greggs pies......).... ANYWAY... (ahem) Had a look at the pumps and they didnt have any new stickers or such on them. Just my luck - they will introduce it at whitburn and i'll end up with a couple of litres over my gutties again!
craig mac Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 When is this stuff going to be spread out over the country? Does anyone know its official roll out day? Craig
oobster Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I just called Shell customer service.... the lady said Optimax is 98 RON and they had no plans to introduce higher-rated Optimax anywhere in the UK. I even asked her to go double check with a supervisor and she still said nope, what they have now is all they have and the no plans blah blah blah. "We'd have been told if there was going to be a new product on the forecourts". The plot thickens!
oobster Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I suppose, if they are planning a big launch of this stuff, with adverts in the newspapers and car magazines in in the next couple of months, they aren't going to announce it over the phone to some punter. My guess: rumours & stories are true, but Shell are keeping schtum until the big launch.
kloon Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 You mean give them more time to get in the equipment that can handle the undoubted hike in price this stuff will have Oobster ? []
oobster Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Acht... it's only money. Heard a saying once, "There's no point being the richest man in the graveyard" and it has served me well.
kloon Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Shell Optimax Extreme. The power of 100 octane with the natural quality of ethanol. Shell Optimax Extreme is a new super-high octane fuel with a minimum octane rating of 100, the highest currently available at any Australian service station. Shell Optimax Extreme is formulated with 5% ethanol. Take it this must be the stuff, not much use to us in Oz though !
euan_r Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 well if its ethanol a trip to the offy might suffice he he
