    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.

    Unsubstantiated rubbish. Do you know how the NSAI work? Have you ever seen the seals on the metering system? - I doubt it very much.

    You worked for a few hours a day in 2 1/2 months of the year - the NSAI work 12 months of the year!

    If a station has a long record of compliance and a proper audited service system in place, there may be no need to check it for 2 years.

    If the seal are in any way tampered with, the station is fined, end of story, no ifs or buts.

    How so? I worked there, do I need to post payslips from all the years, month, weeks and hours that I worked?

    What has that got to do with the price of chips? I never said the seals were tampered with or said I knew the system? I merely pointed out that in some garages the pumps are not calibrated correctly. This may be due to needing a service or general wear and tear but it does happen.

    Now who is making unsubstantiated assumptions. I generally worked 22 hours during the weekend for 3 years and then usually 50 hours a week from June to September... as assistant manager when i was on the premises.
    If a station has a long record of compliance and a proper audited service system in place, there may be no need to check it for 2 years.
    And in the 2 years if the pumps are being regularly used round the clock, 365 days a year they won't be susceptible to wear and tear? They are sooooooo well constructed and calibrated that they are immune to general wear and tear? Jesus if that is the case they should go into automobile manufacturer as they would clean up with that sort of technology.
    If the seal are in any way tampered with, the station is fined, end of story, no ifs or buts.
    IF they are tampered with and IF they are caught. If a machine is not calibrated correctly and its benefitting the garage owner they may decide not to service it and argue the case that they didn't tamper with it and its just wear and tear and accidental OR they may not service it because it's cheaper not to service it.

    Also, if everything is so highly regulated, how come there are garages selling laundered Diesel to unsuspecting customers?

    Yes I do know how it works and I've seen the inside of the pumps systems and a close friend had a station in wicklow from 1995 to 2001.

    Sorry, but my assistant managers would not know an iota about things that go on in the back end of my business and I doubt if any fuel station employee would know either.

    Pumps must be serviced regularly, they must be servcied by an approved contractor and thay are checked without notice. Checks can take place early morning or late evening. The seals must be 100% intact and show no signs of tampering.

    NSAI weights & measures does not test for quality of fuel - its a weights and measures operation.


    If you have any question or are in doubt of the measurement of any fuel pump, you can make a complaint to the NSAI and they will check it out.

    They claim those items 'can't be beaten on price'.
    You can get 2 liters of milk for a euro in town, bread is cheaper in aldi/tesco, the other items, dunno.

    Texaco at the M50 roundabout near the spawell drops its price by 4C weekday nights(not sure about weekends).. Last thursday it was 142.9 at 6:15 am.. Usually go's back up at 7am.. seen it a few times now if heading into work early..

    Was 146.9 at weekend during the day!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 388 ✭✭siber


    There is currently 5 cent a litre off petrol at Tesco if you spend €50 in store. Petrol in my local tesco store was €1.48.? reduced to €1.43 with the 5 cent discount. Since I was spending €50 anyway it worked out well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,397 ✭✭✭dillo2k10


    Just got €50 petrol from Clondalkin Village for 142.3 and they gave me a voucher for €1.40 off next time. :P

    In Clondalkin ye, should of said that in the post. I couldn't believe my eyes when I seen the price driving by.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I hope it's still that price tomorrow! I've a voucher for 50c off too, so that makes it even cheaper!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 396 ✭✭revileandy


    The price of petrol is one thing anyone got any opinions on the quality of the fuel?

    I have an old CR-V with heavy enough fuel consumption and my nearest garages are a topaz and an applegreen - if I fill up in Topaz I tend to get an extra 25 - 30 miles out of the tank over what I would get from the applegreen fuel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,871 ✭✭✭Karen23


    Top in Navan are selling Petrol & Diesel at €136.9 , thats 8c a litre cheaper on the cheapest petrol in Dublin in Dublin 8 and a crazy 14c a litre cheaper than the dearest in Baldoyle , if they can sell it for €136.9 why cant any garages in Dublin do it ?

    I think that the Topaz Fuel is always going to be better than other. It is supposed to clean your tank or something like that aswel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    Thanks again for the tip Danwhite, got some this afternoon. It's still 142.3 and I got a .40c discount voucher too.

    I find the mileage quite good with this petrol, I'd say it's as good as Esso but not as good as Topaz.

    Prices are entered by consumers and there is a disclaimer on the site to warn you.

    Most prices are accurate and when people are found to be entering prices incorrectly they are closed off. - With the new mobile apps, its much easier to enter prices, so accuracy levels are quite.
