Went to fill up at my local BP and the "NOT IN USE" cards where on all the ultimate pumps .. as i see the same guy all the time i ask him why they are out .. and it seems there is a supply problem with ultimate and it will be back online in December .. looks like i will have to change to mobil now ...

I experienced the same thing the other day. I had to go to 5 BP's to find some.

We've had no Shell Optimax in town for most of this week.
Unfortunately that's the only good stuff we get, no BP or Mobil equivalents are avalable locally......... Not that it matters, my 351 pings on it anyway! Ed

I know a little while back here that 95 wasn't available for about 3 weeks at BP or at independants either. I had to switch to 91, I must get off that, prices are back down to $1.04 a litre here.
