I heard something on 98FM this morning about some promotion they're at where a station reduces prices for a few hours to 98.1/9 cents.. could be the same thing?

I'm not living too far from Clonsilla. Must check it out.

I don't understand why some enterprising individual or consotium can't but 1million litres (or some other large amount) one year and then resell it one year/five years later at a profit, yes they would need storage tanks but the margin could make that up

even think of it on a small scale- even I'm using unleaded petrol in my lawnmower that was bought over a year ago

Its the 98fm promotion they have on at the moment with the "Fuel Fairy". The pick a shell petrol station every couple of hours and for 98 mins the petrol there sells at 98.9.

Shell garage in Stillorgan this morning

I think we should keep posting the garages as they are announced. Alot of people, like me, do no thave a radio in work, and it would be handy to get a tip-off if it ends up nearby me.

That idea ain't bad.... I don't have a radio in work either.

The only catch is - you've got to share the forecourt with 98FM listeners. Shudders.

Went down last night alright to check and the price was back up to normal

What if the price dropped? You would be rightly screwed.

Also Unleaded has a self life of a few months.

I happened by it yesterday morning.

Only realised at the pump why everything was at 98.1 - there were some ladies wearing some "angel wings" and had leaflets. I "filled" the bros at a grand cost of €8. Because I was more concerned about skipping the queue, I only realised too late that the price was also 98.1 on VPower so I could have "cost" 98fm more than the ~80c that I did by using normal petrol.

AFAIK, its only on promotion for 98 mins from the time they announce it which is about 8am.

Where is it this afternoon.

Maybe people could post everyday where they are going to be.
