Is Optimax Extreme available in the UK ?

[coolhand]

Recently fitted Pauls homefry and several other tweeks, and as I principally use my S2 on weekends have been using a local fuel enhancer which significantly raises the r.o.n to effectively reduce any chances of detonation. ( BTW, my coupe literally screams to the redline now, a friend of mine with an M5 could not believe this little 5 banger :-))))
Now just released locally is Shell Optimax Extreme (with Ethanol) min 100 r.o.n:

It's currently available in my state (Melbourne) from only 7 stations, it certainly is apparent when driving, even in my 100 Avant I can feel the engine advances much better under acceleration.

I've not heard of this over here in the UK yet, but Tesco, the supermarket chain, is now selling 99RON Super Unleaded from an increasing number of stations and it's quite popular with us over here!

Optimax is too pricey over here compared to other fuels so wouldnt like to think what they would charge for this stuff if it hit the UK shores!

A garage not too far from me is selling normal unleaded for 87.9 and optimax for 95.9, I consider that to be cheap. Anyone else get it cheaper than that?

84.9 Unleaded.... Tesco Super 88.9

I'm sure i paid 93.9 for Optimax in Leeds @ the weekend. Could be wrong though, was in a bit of a haze...

Optimax in High Wycombe is around 91.7..I've been filling up there recently as I've had some jobs to do in the area
