What the hell is up with Shell at the moment?

Went to Dural Shell yesterday to fill up with optimax and there was no optimax or unleaded. "Ok" I thought, "I'll just get some tomorrow."

Anyway, went there again today. They have unleaded but no optimax? WTF?!?

So anyway, I decided to drive to Castle Hill Shell. NO bloody optimax there either!!!!!! Ended up putting $25 worth of BP Ultimate in at 116.9!!!!! (I wanted Shell because I had a voucher).

But GRRR!!! What's going on?!?

wil..

I'm looking out the window, and can see the sold out things on 3 of the pumps in Pennat Hills so doesnt look to good out this way at all!

baha posted in the wrong thread again!

I just tried calling and they arnt answering so dont know :D

yeah i find BP ultimate lasts longer.. i get about another 30kms outta my tank

this is true i think

been using optimax for months, getting round 400km a tank

wacked so ultimate in there and i hit 400km with just under a 1/4 tank left

niiiiiiiiiiice

Any word on the Shell situation?

Has anyone been to a shell in the northwest area since Friday? I still need fuel (only put in $25 on the friday). I might check this arvo after work at dural again.

Some people complain about petrol prices being 10c more expensive here or there. But like it really affects us... It might make a few dollars difference, you might be able to save $5 a week lol. We all put large amounts of money into our cars, I dont think it's going to affect our pocket very much.

I only use BP Ultimate so if it's $1.20, then its $1.20.. I'd prefer quality over price. The truth is whatever the petrol prices are, we gota pay it. I top my tank once a week & costs me usually $50 to $55. It was $1.16 last time, like I'm gona go put in Optimax coz it might have been $1.05.

dont care about the price of bang juice (cheeper than a v8) 4 the daily driver and have never used anything but senergy8000 a mobil fuel that can only b brought at top mobil servo's (WARNERS BAY) and thats 15 klms from home; BUT PEOPLE WILL use the fuel they think makes it go but (i would ask any 1 about the 8000' whats optimax 4000-6000ps always use the same number pump and same servo they way if u get the shit fuel ,u know who not to use but 1nce again ask about the mobil 8000 as it has been proven the best ( pump fuel)

cool... one thing though. This thread isn't about the quality of the fuel.

It's about the fact that there doesn't appear to be any optimax anywhere. You may not care about the price of fuel but I do. I have shopping vouchers which gets me 4c off per litre of optimax. Over the long run this is a lot of money!

Anyway, does anyone know whether Shell have Optimax again yet?

I've seen the same situation here in Melbourne over the weekend - pulled into a Shell station to get some optimax, but the pumps for Optimax were "not in use".

Ah well, in the past I only used Optimax... because the other fuel franchises hadn't started to offer a high octane (98+ RON) fuel yet. These days I've found I've had better performance with BP Ultimate which I use exclusively now, unless there's nothing else...

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
