petrol in the autoport

daftdave · 27-05-2008 2:56pm #1

i see most places are selling unleaded petrol for 1.26 per ltr, the autoport is currently selling it for 118.9 or something close to that, not sure how long its gonna last so fill up while its still cheap !

mike65 · 27-05-2008 3:47pm

Which one is that?

Mike.

longshanks · 27-05-2008 4:03pm

on the cork road by the college

Sully · 27-05-2008 4:22pm

Isnt that owned by the same owner of Esso and Pickardstown garrage in Tramore? Whose prices are the highest and are never cheaper then Waterford?

Pitty its not open late, I usually go to Tesco late at night to fill up!

mike65 · 27-05-2008 4:25pm

Ditto, Tesco is 125.9 for unleaded. Ouch.

Cheers longshanks. I never use the Cork road these days so tend to forget whats down there.

Its been 118.9 for over a week now in the Autoport so get it while its cheap.

blackbeard · 28-05-2008 6:23am

yeah tesco is 125.9 but they are doing the 5 cent of per litre again once u spend €50 in the shop which brings it down a bit

Stokolan · 28-05-2008 12:37pm

Was over at the Internet cafe there at the park and noticed that the garage there was selling petrol for 120.? that was about 6:30 yesterday.

its no longer an esso sully if you drive by there just take a look there aint an esso sign in sight on any of his garages and the tankers that deliver are unmarked no esso in sight

Roen · 29-05-2008 4:14pm

Filled up in the Autoport this morning. It was still 118.9 there and I think it was 128.9 a few hundred metres up the road.
Cheers for the heads up DD

Esso is still in Tramore? I saw the big Esso sign not so long ago? At least, I think I did. But saying that, I didn't see an Esso tanker fill it up. Some local company whose name I never heard of before.

Pickardstown was Maxol but isn't any more.

cdy35; Can you back that up? If not, please remove your post as your in breach of the forum charter. Thanks.

mike65 · 22-06-2008 11:33am

Jebus Sully just edit it!

Thats a very serious allegation there cdy35, I hope you can back it up with facts. There disel price is over the 1.30p/l now and petrol is still 120.9. I have been using the petrol out there for the last 3 months at this stage and I have not noticed and difference in preformance or milage compared to other previous garages.

Upthedeise07 · 22-06-2008 6:21pm

Was up there today and they are not selling petrol or diesel anymore!!:mad:

Sully · 22-06-2008 7:13pm

I dont think they are closing, I just think they ran out of fuel..

i,m tellin ya bud have a look at it when your driving home and there aint a single esso sign in sight just the red surround and thats it!!! i,ve seen euro fuels tankers filling them up

mike65 · 23-06-2008 10:36am

I was in Tramore last monday and spotted the lack of signs, the ESSO colour scheme is still on the forecourt.

This is true, Tommy Farrell pulled out from all the franchises he was part of (Maxol, Esso)

What were the allegations that cdy35 was posting? If they're what I think they are, I will be able to back them up.

Laurs_civic · 23-06-2008 12:32pm

as far as i know, the car garage is owned by same guy as expensive tramore petrol but he dosent own the autoport petrol station part.

i get great milege out of the autoport petrol , and i do a good bit of driving.

They were just out, their def not closing, shame too as was just back from Cork yesterday and wanted to fill up only to find them out so had to go to place down by the park instead

rogue-entity · 23-06-2008 1:54pm

Is the place by the park still 1.20.. The only thing about the AutoPort that cheesed me off was they were closed after work, when I drove out their purposely. Ended up going to that Amber Garage near the WSC, I think the were still cheaper than Tesco though.

Nope, around the same as Tesco I think

cdy35 · 23-06-2008 2:12pm

I got it on very good authority.

Mossy Monk · 23-06-2008 2:14pm

You got what on very good authority?

Aquos76 · 23-06-2008 4:07pm

Maybe Sully might put back up the comment if proof is available, however, I'm not too sure as it is quite a serious allegation.

If I get proof, then ill discuss it with the admins and see what to do. The "Good Authority" doesn't wash when it comes to arguments like this. Its a very serious allegation to be making and could land Boards.ie in very hot water if it was left be. Surely, if it is true, someone should report it to the appropriate authorities?

I was also thinking the same, for that to be going on, they would be leaving themselves open to massive repercussions.
