In control of Statoil supposedly, so Statoil stations were everywhere now they are..

They bought out Shell and Statoil AFAIK

EDIT: They own Shell and Statoil and are rebranding them this year

From the website!!!:rolleyes:

"Topaz, Ireland’s largest retail fuels business has been busy transforming every Shell and Statoil service station in Dublin as part of its ambitious national re-branding programme.
The refitting and re-branding of the Dublin network is part of a €50million national investment programme and will see 45 Dublin service stations, move from Statoil and Shell to the new and striking Topaz brand".

Do you realise how big Shell are. I seriously doubt anyone in Topaz even has enough money to buy 1% of Shell. I think they just bought out their Irish filling stations.

pickarooney · 31-10-2008 09:54AM

Who the **** cares what brand of petrol they buy??

SEPT 23 1989 · 31-10-2008 10:01AM

Soon Topaz will buy out our hospitals and schools, and their CEO will reveal itself to be a giant lizard man :eek:

Err... I think everybody is paying less for petrol due to the price of oil going down lately so don't go sending them a bunch of Topaz flowers to say thank you just yet.
