TV3 did a piece on it not long ago too, Here

The Caltex is worse than the Mobil for price-gouging, at one stange he was charging more than $1 above RRP for fags (the prick). I think all the locals use the BP on the south side of town.

Don't stop in Cambridge if you don't like paying to piss. I parted with 50 cents there the other day and if the boys room wasn't so full of paying punters at the time I would have pissed all over the floor.

Thanks for the useful info. FJ Rider will be along shortly to catch up with the actual topic.

Very carefully read and absorb the statement (at the bottom of all your posts) that starts with : "There has been...."

Recognition of topic's (if they are only no more than a pathetic wimper ... as this thread started) can be difficult.

Recognition of a problem is simpler ... but problem solving seems not YOUR strong point ...

Well done for helping another motorcyclist though ...

Better to do that in a gumboot specially set aside in the "Spill Response" kit

Bang on! It's so easy to do but many people just don't get the concept.

I've been to that Mobil before when I've been in the area and things were fine but he's lost me as a customer now and it's BP's gain. Incidently, I bought other products apart from fuel at BP so it all adds up eventually.

From what I see on here others have voted with their feet as well. One day he'll probably wonder what it is that caused his customers to defect but it may be too late by then.
