    BP 98 shortage?

    Has anyone been told this? The one and only BP here in Wanganui has run out yet again. They are trying to tell me there is a nationwide shortage. Anyone else heard the same?

    :shrug:. So, fill up with whatever they do have .

    All my bikes know, they get whatever I give them (and whatever is cheapest) and are thankfull that it's not kerosene. Y' gotta take a firm line with them, start pampering them, and they'll start taking liberties. Any arguments, 50/50 kero and 91.

    I'm more bothered by the fact that I can't get 72 octane petrol.
