    Petrol station preference?

    We have two here in Warkworth so there is a choice.
    Mobil and Shell....Shell is my Preference but i mostly use the Mobil cos there's more room at the pumps. The shell is 'old school' ...a corner station with four pumps and two lanes that fit four cars only so can be a squeeze, But theres no bullshit with pre-pay. Question is...Do you have a Preference of which Petrol Station you would rather use? If there is a choice that is?
    If you are out and dont have a choice cos theres only one? cant help that.
    No reason need be given but if there is one....give away.
    If you leave your house on your bike and need Petrol, which Station do you go to? Most of us have a choice.

    Whichever station takes the discount vouchers... Down here that's 2 x BP and 1 x Caltex, though the Caltex only takes the 4c ones.

    Big. SHeltered. Short/no queues. Sell hot pies. Same side of the road as me so I dont have to turn around.

    The name on the sign means very little at the pump.

    BP, cos we get cheaper petrol there.
    But when we do a big grocery shop and get a coupon for 20 cents per litre discount, we go to Pak'n'Save petrol.
    Prepay hasn't really caught on here yet..(to my knowledge)

    Funnily enough i do have an irrational lean towards bp, gull and to a degree caltex (the California Texas theme puts me off) Who would'a thunk it.

    i used to work in a shell service station, maybe thats why i want to burn them all down

    mobil always seem "cheap"

    I use BP but only because they give me AA points and there's a convenient one on my way to work. Oh and I get the 4c/litre discount because I shop at New World - so the fact they usually have the highest prices doesn't bother me too much.

    Well ill either use Mobil or Pak N Save as i cant be bothered taking my helmet and ear plugs out to pay inside the shop i can just use prepay no bullshitting around inside just swipe the card and get going.

    Not worried about who charges highest cause i buy 98 and if they dont have that then ill go to the next one.

    Thats an extremely good reason to use a particular Station klingon..price does not bother me either.

    Pay at the pump... (When it works, which does seem to be getting less frequent)
