| 865066 | 2010-03-08 23:32:00 | The Gull station in Otara is still advertising petrol at 162.9c (or 163.9c) per litre while all the others around are at 177.9c. I went in once, but after fighting with the pump for a while, a voice came over a loudspeaker saying something unintelligible. I thought I caught the word pre-pay, but as this was 10am I assumed I'd misheard. Any way, I gave up and went elsewhere. Does anyone else know this station? Is it prepay 24 hours a day? If so, how does prepay actually work when buying petrol, especially when supermarket discount vouchers are involved and you don't know how much petrol you can fit in the tank???? :confused: |

| 865067 | 2010-03-08 23:39:00 | A)It will now go up B)Even for me being in the general vicinity, it's way too far to drive there, savings in price would be cancelled out by the distance I had to go. Ain't that the way of it? It's a plot. |

When you finish, it finalizes the transaction at the actual value. |

This has caught me out several times when I've paid my credit card bill, then several days later find that I have a positive balance on the card once the hold is released. |

So it ties up $150 on your account for several days? :confused: And what happens when you have supermarket discount vouchers (as most people do these days)? And then there's Fly Buys .... :waughh: |

| 865072 | 2010-03-09 22:47:00 | Fly Buys? I can get a pretty good supply of flies free, delivered by air. Just switch of the bug zapper if I need live ones, otherwise there's quite a few fried flies ready toasted every day. Maybe in winter? Are the bought flies free-range, organically raised and GE free? |

And then there's Fly Buys .... :waughh: Actually, I made a mistake here - it only does the $150 check if you opt for the "FILL", if you go for $50 , it only reserves $50 and then gives you a refund if you can only squeeze in less. |
