    I think Topaz were also a property play (wasn't everything?) with the idea of selling off valuable city centre locations for development.

    As diesel has got even more expensive (both on an absolute level and also comparative to petrol) counter-intuitively there seems to be less and less price competition out there.

    I try and go to Apple or Tesco if I can remember to plan ahead rather than let the indicator hit the bottom and play a game of chicken with myself, hunting around for somewhere.....

      I would say nearly every second petrol station in Limerick is now Topaz. They just seemed to pop up over night. The Dock road is a prime example where there was a Shell and Statoil within metres of each other but now they are both Topaz.

        Explained by the fact that Topaz bought the distribution network of StatOil & Shell. 2+2=...

          All you need to know about them
          Passed a Maxol garage beside the Omni in Santry today and noticed diesel at€1.30 per litre. Swung into the Omni and Topaz selling Diesel at €1.34. Obviously the profits are in the shop.
