I find it to be the complete opposite, they always seem to be one of the cheapest petrol stations i pass by.

That's the Peugeot garage I'd say?

There's a price war between the Topaz at the Bandon rd roundabout and the new Amber. Petrol dropped about 10 cent since it opened. Currently 131.9 in Topaz and 131.8 in Amber.

Sorry for the slightly OffTopic Post.
I was spending 180/200 Eur a month in Petrol for commuting (mainly to work), so I decided to convert my car to LPG.
Not enough mileage to have an idea of the savings, probably the break even point for me will be in 8/9 months.
I will keep updated if anyone is interested, I am saving the car costs in a spreadsheet, that I could share as soon as more mileage is done

130.9 in Amber today vs. 131.9 in Topaz.

Would that be the Topaz at the junction of Centre Park Road and Victoria road?

This place always has cheap petrol, but each time I've used it (twice) my car spluttered like crazy. It was a new (2nd hand car) and I thought it was the car until I turned the lawn-mower on and the same thing happened!

Interestingly, anytime I pass this garage I never see a taxi filling up there

Well in fairness one reason for this could be that very very few taxis actually travel the Model Farm Road. It is something I have noticed before. It is VERY rare to see an empty taxi on this road compared to others.
So maybe they simply don't go there as it is not somewhere they pass regularly.

that filling station isn't on my daily commute, so i rarely use it, but the few times i have, i noticed that they have a notice stating that all their fuels come from whitegate.

Starscream25 · 06-01-2015 4:14pm

Any ideas how far it may realistically go down? I remember back in the day I started driving petrol was around 1.03 per litre.

It costs me â‚¬50 to fill up my 1.2l Opel Corsa since before Christmas. I always go to the Esso on the South Link. It gets me a minimum of 500km. Unreal.

How many litres from empty to brim? Just wondering your mpg? I'm getting about 580 km's from 40 litres on my 1.2 polo.

Well if I was the owner of that filling station, I'd be mightily ****** off by your insinuation.

It's an independent station - there aren't so many left. BUT it means that he answers to no-one WRT pricing/opening hours/decor etc

He gets his fuel from Whitegate, as mentioned already.

They serve a broad local community, who have filled their cars etc there for decades. If there was a problem with the fuel, it would have been identified long long before now.

You've filled up there twice - I've filled up there regularly for the last 15 yrs - petrol and diesel - I've never had a problem.

Finally, as another poster mentioned, it's not a busy taxi route - but I've regularly seen taxis fill up there.

(No connection to the place - just a satisfied customer.)

Salty · 06-01-2015 7:53pm

Petrol in Whitechurch is 127.9. Can't remember the diesel price since I don't use it. Filled my 1.3 KA from empty for €40.99 last week. It was €48 two weeks before that in a different station in town. Nice difference!

vince · 07-01-2015 12:09am

The euro falling against the doller will probly halt our falling fuel prices sadly.

I just want to let you know that I echo your sentiments. I fill up there too, and the petrol is perfect. It is the fuel that doesn't come from an Irish refinery that you'd want to watch and seeing Whitegate is the only Irish refinery...

Unlike topaz the filling station on the model farm road doesn't make any false claims that it's fuel gets you further etc.

Loire · 08-01-2015 6:01pm

I can't seem to edit my earlier post, but take the recent points made and would like to retract my earlier post.

I'll even promise to fill up my car there the next time!

Just on this. I've spoken to my father's best friend who lives on the Model Farm Road and both he and his wife have been filling up their diesel and petrol cars there for years and years. If the owners happen to read this thread, then I apologise for my earlier post and wish you the best.

Outkast_IRE · 10-01-2015 1:07am

Anybody know what the story is with topaz in Wilton . I passed by tonight at 7 and it was closed.

I know Aldi were after buying the site but I hadn't heard any progress on that for months.

My car also used to splutter after filling up there. Noticeable but nothing compared to the dirty diesel I bought in a station in Kerry a few years back which needed to be dumped and required a new fuel filter.

In my opinion the cheapest places arent worth it but thats after losing €60 in fuel down the drain. My previous car ran fine on the independent on the Model Farm Road ,current car not so much.

I heard that they got planning permission and therefore could start work....haven't heard for def. that they've started, but it'd make sense.4

(Traffic around there will be interesting when it opens...!)

Diesel is still 119.9 there. Best I've seen and I've driven around half of Cork in the last week.

Apple Green in Ballincollig is at 1.26 (petrol)

Yep - that's the one.

It was closed at 5:30pm yesterday - there were lights in the shop - but I thought it looked like they were removing eqpt. There were cones placed at the entrance/exit to stop anyone driving in.

blindsider · 12-01-2015 5:45pm

Lee Garage (Ind) petrol was 124.9 on Sat - Model Farm Rd.

Yeah and the petrol is now 125.9! Seriously good, especially for me...the broke student with a part-time job. :P

hoodwinked · 25-01-2015 11:30am

just passed Topaz in Douglas village this morning 128.9 for petrol :eek:

filled my car yesterday in esso on the south link it was 122.9 for petrol.

byronbay2 · 28-01-2015 5:57pm

In case anyone is still following this thread:

Lee Garage (Model Farm Road): 118.9 for diesel
24-Hour place on Kinsale Road, across from Harvey Norman: 117.9 for diesel
Great Gas Turners Cross: 119.9 for diesel but they accept Tesco vouchers which give you either 5c or 10c off per litre (have to spend €50 or €100 in Tesco to get voucher).

Definitely feeling the benefit of falling prices now - haven't bought diesel for under €1.10 for a long time!

BTW, I was in England at the weekend and noticed that petrol is cheaper (a lot cheaper, about 10p per litre) than diesel.

thejuggler · 29-01-2015 9:56am

113.9 for Diesel in Applegreen Ballincollig

bee06 · 29-01-2015 8:47pm

121.9 for petrol in the Topaz in Ballincollig.

Chloris · 13-02-2015 4:52am

127.9 at Esso on South Link again, and I use them as a benchmark so the prices are probably on the income again. Feck.

rosie16 · 14-02-2015 1:49pm

Yeah, I hadn't filled up in a week plus and the prices have gone from 125 to 130 in westlink pouldauff.

It's the same price as the prices in the town nearest to me which are usually a few cent more expensive than in the city.

Well, it looks like the halcyon days are over - nice while it lasted anyway!

24-hour place near Harvey Norman: 122.9
Great Gas Turner's Cross: 124.9
Lee Garage: 122.9

Did get diesel for 115.9 in Applegreen Ballincollig last Sunday, mind you.

Chloris · 17-02-2015 4:27am

Great Gas Turners Cross is usually grand and cheap, an unfathomable 1.33 when I passed yesterday!

hoodwinked · 17-02-2015 1:32pm

i got petrol for €1.27 in Esso on the south link yesterday evening. €1.33 is ridiculous! is that because they take the 5c vouchers from tesco i wonder

run_Forrest_run · 18-02-2015 10:41am

yep, it took weeks of one cent drops to appear but overnight there seems to be increases in 5 cent blocks :mad:
