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...

    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
