the word i have is the whole country is out of optimax/8000/ultimate till the end of the month. What a bastard, 3 bottles of the stuff should do me from now until then hopefully, but one servo was out of booster and the other i got the last 3.

seems to be a bit mixed, guys on pf say act/nsw only maybe.

ok time for some digging

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Shell is currently unable to supply Shell Optimax to all sites in NSW, ACT and Vic. We aim to be back in stock from the 19th of November in Victoria and 22nd of November in NSW and ACT."

From shell website.

cant find anything on mobil, i was told about it by the guy behind the counter of my local mobil, so hed probably be right on his estimase for mobil 8000 getting back.

shell have been doing some maintanance on their refinery, which , due to bad weather has taken longer than expected. Optimax will be out for about a week and a half (that's what I was told last week), should be back by the end of next week (if they say true).

Try Vortex 98 guys. Its supposed to be rated at 98 Octane.
Ordinary Vortex (PULP) is rated at 95.8

I put some in mine this arvo so will let you know how it goes but anythings gotta be better than that shit Vortex I've been using this week! :x

I think it sucks immensely when the best fuel you can get in this country is only 98 ron. Not to mention what we're paying for it too!

Bastards!

Where's the 101?
Hmmm?
Shell?
BP?

Any of you fuel companies care to comment?

Best stuff i can buy at all in NZ, ChCh is Caltex 96 Premium, so think yourselves lucky to begin with. ;)

I would think you could just fill up on the normal premium stuff, and just not boot it for a week?

A few places around Wellington have 98, you'd think somewhere around chch would have it since they have all the bogans rofl
