Default Thank you United petrol

Since United bought most/all Mobil stations, here where i am in Sandy Beach, 15mins north of Coffs Harbour NSW, United now have a servo out here, and have driven the competition down too, ULP at BP or Shell out here is 110.1 , and 15 mins down the road in Coffs, its 121-124.9. So thank you United, although i would never buy your petrol, thanks for being competitive !!

Hooray for CSR!

Paid $1.10/L for sugarfuel in Bairnsdale. 30 minutes either way along the highway saw this rise to $1.25/L.

I put anything in my car :P (even safeway fuel)

United isn't too bad actually .. have used the ULP in the Territory and the LPG in the ute ... I have no issues with their fuel at all ... but I do agree ... it has brought competition to the area though ... can only be a good thing for all of us.

What's wrong with Safeway fuel? it is better than most other brands. I'd got to Safeway before Shell anyday!
