This PM drove past 4 Shell sites in Staines, Egham & near Woking, all with no Optimax. Got BP Ultimate in the end.

PS - don't agree that filling the car with 95RON will do any harm. The knock sensors will just back off the timing and reduce performance until the ECU detects that it's got higher octane fuel again. Shurely, or am I mishtaken?
Nope - this is absolutely correct.
