Default KInd of urgent question re fuel....

Guy's,
i'm doing a track day at Keevil airfield near Trowbridge in Wilts on Monday, there would appear to be no shell stations nearby that do optimax, can anyone advice me as to wether the Tesco's at Trowbridge do 99ron fuel please..... i guess 97 would be adequte, but 99 better!!

Cheers.

Ron.

I lived in Westbury (5 miles away) until December last year and they didn't sell 99RON in Tesco Trowbridge then.

....there is a Shell garage on the A46 between M4 J18 and Bath, in a village called Pennsylvania. I think they do Optimax.

The garage is VERY expensive though, being the main HGV arterial route from the M4 to the M3/M27.

......just remembered......

There is also a BP just round the corner from Tesco Trowbridge that will probably sell BP Ultimate.

- Come out of Tesco carpark and turn right at the traffic lights (with the Tesco garage on your left)
- Follow the road to the roundabout (~300 yards) and turn right
- BP is about 1/2 mile on your left-hand side

Thumbs up

"X" marks the spot for the BP garage, only a stones throw from Keevil, (I'd follow the 'red' route that I've marked, much more straight forward the the route offered by 'viamichelin'.

My mate lives in Bratton, near Keevil, so I know the area well.

I didn't realise that they did track days there, how much do they charge, I guess it's cheaper than Castle Coombe?

Just remember that BP Ultimate = det city for most cars, best take some booster and put in with it.

Hi Bob,

'most' cars - does this refer to modded cars or is there something I've missed??

Thanks,

Rich.
