Its the Kwinana refinery that supplies ultimate to all states (for BP that is). I have been told by the Boys at the local that it is going to affect Premium as well. You guys over east at least have Optimax. Apparently the breakdown happened more than 2 weeeks ago, and they only let the public know about it this weekend. cheers Peter

dam ricers...like 1.8 ltr lancers need premium...but those altezza lights, big wings, crappy mags etc need high octane fuel i guess...they need every advantage they can get

[ saw an ad on tv not long ago for Vortex 98. havent been to a servo yet to see if they have got it.
] Caltex 98 is not out yet, coming soon All gone down Canning vale way. I used 95 ron from BP and wynns octane boost. No pinging and no noticable difference. I have to go to wangarra from canningvale too. Servo says maybe mid dec. Sad to see how vunerable our fuel supplies are

i tried 5 BP's saturday morning before going on the dyno. Ended up using premium with octane booster. There's flyers at all servo's about the shortage, i think you can register with BP and they sms you when ultimate is back at the pumps.

There may be light at the end of the tunnel for us WA boys. Got the following as a reply I made to the Governments fuelwatch site.
Dear Peter Thanks for your e-mail. Many sites are receiving deliveries of small quantities of PULP and Ultimate through out the day, however as there is a shortage they selling the fuel very quickly between these deliveries. It would be difficult to keep track of which sites have PULP and Ultimate available and which sites do not. We have placed a notice on our website and in our daily fuel pricing e-mails advising consumers to ring the retail site to check if they have PULP before they go there. BP has advised us that their refinery is now operational and will be making full PULP and Ultimate deliveries as of today. It may take a few days for retail sites to be fully stocked however. Kind regards FuelWatch I hope this is true  : Peter

Any BP I went to this week had "pump unavailable" signs on each Ultimate bowser... Petrol was cheap though at 109.9 for the regular crap.
This is in Melbourne SE suburbs.
