Wow, did you fill up in 2003 I haven't seen Optimax for a while.

More surprising is you managed to get 89 litres in at one visit. The computer is so pessimistic on my car that it will read '0' miles to go and I can only fit in 80 litres at best.

I've done 89 litres a few times in the past been thinking I may have to push it into the petrol station, or have a long walk with a petrol can before

Well spotted, didn't even see myself and I fill there most of the times. I better get back to petrol station and demand refund for the difference in current prices and the ones from Optimax times. Now where is my receipt..?

I had done around 10 miles showing 0 before fill-up. I have done 20 while showing 0 in the past and still did not run out of fuel. I could have probably squeezed another liter or at lest a half in just stopped at £125

That's beaten my record!!
Don't risk running out, it can have massive consequences of the significantly more expensive sort
