    IF you don't want bread or milk etc. can you get money back against your fuel?

    There's a one pump outfit in Ballymount (on the right hand side as you go from the Walkinstown Roundabout towards the Industrial Estate) that only sells diesel at 134.9c. There's a Maxol station 200 yds away selling for 143.9c! There are usually queues but I don't know if the pumps are NSAI approved (so you're not paying 134.9 for 0.95L!).

    http://pumps.ie/ is a great website for finding out where the cheapest fuel nearby is.

    That garage is currently the cheapest in Dublin @ 146.6, though the price is a few days old.

    You what now ... ?

    Of course they have to be calibrated, you cant sell fuel without a certificate.

    Petrol is 1.46, Diesel is 1.36 IIRC

    I got some on Tuesday, I go there most of the time because they give money off vouchers when you buy petrol too. There was a huge queue this afternoon though, so traffic leading up to it was a nightmare.

    Worked in a garage many moons ago and I don't remember them being checked that often and I'm not sure if you are fined if they are off because you can argue its down to usage... i have noticed quite a few garages these days don't actually start pumping until you are maybe 50cent in (you can feel it in the pump when it starts dispensing). I'm not saying this is a deliberate scam and it's not a big deal if you fill up each time, but if you put in €10/ €15 on a regular basis it adds up.

    Total and utter bullsh1t.

    Why oh why do so many people make up crap with no basis except their own stupid assumptions with no hard concrete facts?

    Nsai can and do make regular un-announced inspections nationwide on all days. If their seal is tampered with, the garage is heavily fined - €10000+

    Easy tiger!

    What he is saying has legs. I know of a guy in who was filling a container and the the pump had hit 50 cent before it started to fill with petrol. Of course it's illegal and checks are carried out a bit like car tax is checked but yet thousand's of people drive without it.

    That can only be if

    - the shop attendant hadn't zeroed put the last sale (as he is meant to do from the till) or

    - there was an error with that pump

    There is no way any petrol company would have a systemic scam like this in place as they would lose their business overnight, and the directors would leave themselves open to fines & prosecution & fraud.

    Do people honestly think that petrol pumps are infallible? Its a machine they wear, they break just like any other machine and they need regular servicing and calibrating.

    The reading on the pump just means that the meter pistons have moved up and down a certain amount which should assuming the pump is primed and operation perfectly mean that a proportinal volume +- 0.X% of fuel has been dispensed.

    It is a statistical certainty that at some point there will be a problem that means a pump won't dispense the appropriate amount. No conspiracy theories here.

    Its not like car tax - its like a ESB meter seal.

    If it is in anyway tampered with, you get heavy fine - not a slap on the wrist like you do for car tax.

    50c is 1/3 of a litre - the same as the liquid in a can of coke and about the amount the will fit into the length of a hose. - Does your "guy" ever check to see how much fuel continues to dispense after he has stopped the pump?

    Oh yeah - he didn't think of that.

    The NSAI are exceptionally strict. When I had store which had a weigh machine, I had them checked for accuracy twice in 12 months with no notification. (yes thay passed both times)

    There's 3 places close to each other, on the old n1, just south of the airport.

    Driving south, place on the left (just past alsaa), 135.9 diesel

    Continue south, through Collin town lights, just past the Carlton hotel, on the right is Great Gas, 139.9 diesel, 149.9 petrol

    Almost immediately across the road, place a bit like a truck stop. 138.8 diesel

    137.9. In the self-service on the old airport road & the one across from it down the little lane.

    They now also do petrol self-service, 147.9

    You need Visa/MC/Laser as it is self-service only. No cash or Amex

    Not bull****, I worked in a garage for 3 years and never once got checked while I was there and during the summer that was 6 days a week - how is that a stupid assumption or not based on fact? I was there, you weren't so you are the one who is making assumptions. I guarantee that there are certain garages that the fuel does not start pumping until at least 40 cent in. Im not saying this is deliberate just that both my father and I have noticed this in our local garage.

    Also if the NSAI are so infallible how come there was a big discussion on Matt Copper last week about garages cropping up selling laundered Diesel?

    The last few times we got petrol we went to Mc Kee Ave in Finglas , Gulf Oil next to the old ESB. 148.9 for petrol & 138.9 for diesel. The cheapest I've found around that area.
