Can you advise any Topaz that sell it? Lisburn I dont know of any and genuinely cant think of one with super? Belfast then next nearest I assume? Is theirs also 97 RON? I believe Topaz is effectively the Irish arm of Shell so is it as near to VPower as we will get?

As far as I understand, the biggest issue with super in NI is it sits in the tanks far too long. It may do no harm for the number of outlets selling it to be reduced (as long as a decent geographical spread is maintained). I don't mean all BP garages stopping it, but a reduction in pumps overall would increase throughput and mean fresher fuel for everyone.

What tanks are you talking about? at the docks? The way I look at it is they've sold out most if not all stations within a week and a half (assuming the last delivery was 1.5 weeks ago) that's some turn around surely? Also if its true that they add the additives at the docks then surely its once its in the tanker and not once its stored at the docks? Not having a go at your response btw just wondering as lots of people say there is crap turn around from Super over here?

We don't know how long it took to sell out. Last top up could have been months ago and its only running out across the board now.

No I mean in the stations themselves. There's plenty that only get a fill every of super every 2-3 months.

So do we have any more information about if BP is going to do Ultimate again or are we going to have to go elsewhere?

Is there anywhere other that GO! in the Craigavon area that does SUL? My local Topaz doesn't.

Cheers thanks, that'll be a good back up for me.

I wonder if the Texaco on the Armagh Road at Shamrock does it too. It's a bit closer to me.

Tried 4 different BP's around Belfast today and non had super... (Malone, Ballyhackamore, Holywood road and Shandon park (outer ring)...The big one on the outer ring said it was meant to be delivered yesterday, settled on £10 of normal stuff as i had 5 miles left in the tank (i now have 15 miles lol)...Will head to Topaz and fill her to the throat...
