Pumphunt - Fuel price search

Sounds like a tinder alternative.

It's something to do with browser/settings/privacy etc.

Cheapest isnt all ways the best as there is alot of yellow pack fuel out there that you only get 5 miles to the gallon so you want to be posting about quality as well call out those stations profiting out of your misery.

I have bought from stations & only got down the road & had a big drop in fuel. We all been told of stations to stay away from.

What are the colour codes in the map for?

Nearly always this is "pub talk" as most people don't realise that all fuel is literally identical except for the additive some put in as a marketing ploy to get people to pay extra. The only thing that can be different is if the tanks are old and not serviced properly, but that would be very rare due to regulations

If a station is getting fuel from whitegate, (Irving oil owners of TOP) the tankers literally line up and it makes no difference what livery is on the tanker you simply fill up in turn. In Dublin Applegreen took over the Topaz/Esso share in a storage facility. Valero (Texaco) are the other 50% owner. Irving Oil also have facilities in Dublin. Most fuel sold in Leinster comes from one of these two facilities. Delivery is usually by companies such as Camp freight, Reynolds or DHL Energy. Circle K have facilities in Dublin airport (jet fuel) & Galway.

Basically oil is refined into petrol & diesel in huge quantities. The fuel tankers can carry ten of millions of refined fuel and they simply unload into whatever storage facility required. It is then distributed to fuel stations. So before any marketing additives are added, ALL fuel is absolutely identical.

So adding a section for people to make defamatory statements because they heard something from some drunk in a pub on on some karen's social media page, would not be conducive to good business

I am assuming it's from the old Google data?

If fuel is all the same ask the filling stations that have four prices up for there fuel. regular & super its wide ope to take advantage of you i can only tell you of what i experienced & others told me of stations to stay away from.

Yes, you can just imagine a comment about the fuel somewhere being dodgy.

How do you cover the legal risks.

Comments would also probably attract contributors who may have a political angle that would spill over into prices posted. We saw this already earlier in the year.
