st3ph3n Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I was 104 yesterday down at the station just off J11 of the M74 as I was down at one of our sites. Luckily it was just a wee top up. Link to comment

paddy247 Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hi can any of you guys in the know explain why all the shell garages have different prices at the same time? Thanks. Link to comment
imprezapete Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Is it not the cost of shipping it to that station? either that or some stations are greedie Link to comment
wrxmania Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Market forces Paddy, and the location of the station. However, I have never figured out why often the stations near the refinery here in Grangemouth are more expensive a lot of the time. It must be cost of site lease, distance from the refinery and who delivers the fuel, the charge of the supplier to the station (if an independant more expensive I would imagine), the staffing costs, the profits made by the shop on other goods, any recent forecourt work and finally the number of customers - the busier the cheaper. Some of these are just conjecture but may, as a pckage, contribute to the costs. Oh and some may want to make more profit than others, although I am sure many station owners/managers will tell you how little they actually make. Brian Link to comment
paddy247 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 thats wot i was thinking honest lol, yeh the station owners are always pleading poverty, i wonder how much free play they have with the mark up. Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I thought all Petrol stations were just a ploy to get you to buy overpriced mars bars and what not. Link to comment
