    The petrol station has been renamed under the Applegreen brand now. I've seen a few Subway outlets in Applegreen stations up and down the country recently alright so it must be a business tie in. Hmmmm...think I'll pop out for a Meatball Marinara now!!!:)

    Ah i'm very conscience of my petrol, topaz I can get about 550km in the car, got from there a couple of times (as discount fuel) and was only pulling 400-440km out of the tank, no change in driving style or anything, gave up after that, I just pay the extra €3 at Topaz in Hartstown

    Me too, Tried it there a few times but for the same reason as above I went back to Topaz in Hartstown and stuck with them.

    So basically what we're saying is, the petrol is cloudy with a chance of meatballs?! ;)

    No real concise evidence there but that's your opinion.

    And the opinion of a good few others that I know of, including another poster on here, I gave it a try, it didn't work out for me, it seems to me as a lower grade petrol so I stopped using it. There will always be one (like you) who disagrees just for the want to disagree and try start an argument about it, if you use it and think it fine, thats great, you're entitled to do it, thats why we have a selection of stations but I won't be getting into a silly little tit for tat argument about it with you.

    You don't think 100-150 extra km per tank fill isn't concise enough evidence??

    Back on topic who has sampled the succulence of subway?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,049 ✭✭✭✭murphaph


    You're all making me jealous...Subway removed the Meatball Marinara from the menu of all German stores a few years ago and it has never returned. The best sandwich by a mile and it's not available here.

    When is it open until?

    Might have to give this branch a go. While it's probably not any closer to Dunboyne than the one in the Blanch centre, at least it'd be far easier to get to and less hassle to actually get my food.

    Just had a foot long Beef melt with cheese,red onion tomato and sauce. Oh man how nice.

    Everyone drives differently. It could've been a week of 'granny driving' in order to get the '100-150km' per tank, whatever that means in terms of l/100km.

    Anyway, I drive a diesel so the petrol quality doesn't matter to me. I get 48mpg mixed driving if it matters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,207 ✭✭✭Murt10


    It used to be the cheapest in Dublin 15 for petrol when it was Discount fuels. Since its been taken over by Applegreen their prices are no longer the best.

    An NO I don't want to join your stupid loyalty scheme. I want cheaper petrol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    Umm, guess where I was again today :o

    Not true. Discount fuels is Applegreen but just not branded. Thier fuel is always a few cent cheaper than the sations around.

    Subway has just made it for me. Cheap petrol and great food...

    Topaz in Coolmine Ind estate is same price diesel at the moment,it's cheap for a topaz to be fair!! Must try the subway later

    How much is it? €1.42 in hartstown at the minute, pretty cheap for them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 708 ✭✭✭A320


    twas 142 the other night,i did hear today that prices of fuel should drop over the next few days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭billie1b


    Hope it does, bloody stupidly expensive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,717 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Yeah its strange, trouble all over the middle east and simmering tensions with the biggest european gas supplier, can't understand how we're not paying near €2 a litre by now for road fuel.

    And its not stupidly expensive, in 20 years time when you're cycling your bike you will look back very fondly on €1.42 per litre for diesel road fuel...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭billie1b


    20 years ago I was paying 0.97p per litre, thats a fond memory, i'm well used to cycling already, 25km a day for exercise, it wont bother me

    The US is self dependent with shale oil and gas. For the first time in decades they have begun new plastic manufacturing as oil prices are so low. Some believe that Saudi backing of ISIS and Putin's input in Ukraine may be impart to drive up oil/ Gas prices that have fallen with shale oil/gas

    That's about 1.20, we've had far cheaper in recent memory. Paid 95.9 so about 72p a litre in the Topaz on the Tallaght bypass in 2009 or so. Prices didn't last long though.

    Sorry, they are lovely and all, but in 1996 I got my licence and paid IR£0.49 per litre for Diesel in Wexford where I lived. Now THOSE were the days!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,047 ✭✭✭Hilly Bill


    They dont seem to do the breakfast Subs. Couldnt see it on the menu.

    Im am nearly sure I am overpricing it an 0.97p per litre for 1994, that could be closer to the year 2000's, its that long I really cant remember, the year I can remember is that I used to be able to go to the garage and get 10 litres of diesel, 10 John Player Blue, bottle of coke and bar with £10 and still have change, those really were the days.

    Finally got to get subs from there on Tuesday. Wow, they really did the entire lot up with the rebrand, didn't they?

    Also, that soda dispenser sure is fancy :eek:

    Pretty standard, they don't put the Applegreen name above the door until they get around to bringing it up to the standard spec. That's why it was Discount Fuel Deals for so long


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,207 ✭✭✭Murt10


    Just back from a trip. On my way I passed Applegreen in Baldoyle and the price per L ther was E149.8 for petrol. I needed a fill but decided to shop local go to the one on the Clonsilla Road.

    My bad. They are charging E151.8.

    Asked your man in the petrol station. He said that the price was set by reference to the prices being charged in the other local stations.

    A nice little cartel we have going on here in Dublin 15. Charge the punter as much as they are willing to pay. Don't worry about competition, they are all at it.

    Prices below are from Pumps.ie



    Applegreen
    Clonsilla Road, Clonsilla 151.8c

    Esso
    Navan Rd, Castleknock 151.9c

    Topaz
    Coolmine Ind Estate, Coolmine 151.9c

    Topaz
    Main Street Blanchardstown, Blanchardstown 152.9c

    Topaz
    Navan Road, Mulhuddart 152.9c
