Chill dude.. Figure of speech...

The only actual person that I "hurled abuse" at was the twonk who said "use an additive" and then two seconds later told me that they didn't sell it. That's the most retarded suggestive sell that I've ever come across. Oh, and then you have whoever was in earshot at the refineries - which would have been next to no-one at 7:30 pm on a Friday night.. 80% of the service stations that I dropve into over the weekend were a simple drive-thru.

And BTW, if you don't like putting up with people yelling at you when working at your service station, make some noise to the people that do make the decisions about prices and what not. Sure, you can't change the prices yourself, but forward the abuse via proxy if you have to.

u drove around endensor park area n couldnt find any premium?
the mobil petty station on endensor rd is always stocked up on synergy.

same with BP on horsley drive near poofter skool.

since the petrol crisis, BP n Mobil havent let me down.
just recently i've noticed i've gained an extra 50-70 kms more out of synergy n bp ultimate than optimax.

Yeah, I tried the one across the road from St John's Bowling Club and the Mobil on the corner of Elizabeth and Cowpasture - both were out early on Saturday afternoon. And my sister said that the girl behind the counter at the one at Edensor park wasn't even aware that they were out - even though there were signs on all of the pumps...

nah im tired of shell, its a common problem now being out of fuel all the time

ive converted to BP and its def advertised as 98 ron no confusion, means they cant decide to sell it at 95 ron and claim theres no sign saying it is 98 ron so u cant complain about it.

car runs like a beuty, ill strick to it as much as i can

I've made the switch! I've always been using Optimax because it was the only 98 RON petrol available when i got my 180.

I filled up with BP Ultimate today and from what i keep hearing from lots of people, it's better than Optimax anyway.The servo attendant said it had less benzine(or something ending in a 'zine) in it than Optimax which is apparantly better.

I'll see over the next week whether or not it makes a difference.

When i filled up it cost 12c/L more than regular unleaded! :o
Is that normal??

thats a possibility..
but the police, australia post, and other government departments have exclusive contracts with shell, so they cant lose out on optimax!
hwy patrols xr6 turbos require PULP!
so if the govt stuff us up, they stuff themselves up :D
