"Purchase cheap fuel from others - pay extra on the supermarket shelves"…read more The catchcry of a small business, Forestville Ethanol's slogan is painted across its roof to catch the eye of every passing motorist. Located on busy Warringah Road, there are many a passing motorist. A convenient location for a petrol station, one would think. And one would be absolutely correct - if a Coles Express/Shell wasn't located right next door. Despite the shopper docket deals and slightly cheaper petrol available there, I always go to Forestville Ethanol when I'm in the area and in need of filling up. One, because I rarely have a fuel voucher to get the advertised price at Coles, and two, because I like it better. A small business located right next to the commercial giant Coles, and not only surviving but giving it attitude with the aforementioned slogan... I like it. I have never needed to wait at the pump for a slow old man in a Mercedes - even on cheap Tuesday! Further, the people working inside are always polite and friendly - but with a touch of familiarity, way more love than you'd get at a petrol chain. The prices are usually one cent more expensive than Coles... which often costs me a whopping extra 40 cents per liter. Shock horror! Even if you're concerned about that extra 40 cents though, I'd be inclined towards Forestville Ethanol.... as the sign cleverly points out, money saved there is spent elsewhere.

Currently they are running a promotion where if you spend over $30 on their branded fuel you get a scratchie to see if you have won prices.

A little service station at West Ryde on Victoria Rd heading towards Parramatta on the left…read moreside....be quick when you are driving past as you might miss it! The entrance is awkward as just before the entrance is a lane that merges into another and this can be a busy road. The petrol (or gas for my American friends) is always cheaper here. It is an older service station and it has a little bit of everything. It is easier enough to check the tyre pressure as the hose it left out and you don't have to ask anyone for it. There are numerous goodies to buy as you walk into the shop area. It is like a mini supermarket ranging in items from baked beans to shaving cream. Unfortunately as I walked in the customer was having an argument with the older fellow behind the counter. Velocity cards are not honoured here as the customer found out. It becomes a little embarrassing as I was waiting to pay for the petrol and wasn't sure what to look at. There is only so much time one can look at sunglasses before someone thinks you are about to nick a pair. Cheap petrol but expect older attitudes at this place. Well.. we can't have everything I suppose.

Mortlake Service Centre is the only petrol station in the Mortlake/ Cabarita/ Concord triangle, and…read moreas such, its prices are a lot higher than your nearest BP or Shell. Generally, the petrol price at Mortlake Service Centre is ten cents more expensive than the average price. A little annoying, but you're paying for the convenience (of not having to drive the extra few minutes to Concord Rd). If you have a long drive ahead of you, this is not the place to stock up on munchies. The variety is limited, to put it kindly. Despite all this, I continue to fill up in Mortlake because the service is exceptional. A nostalgic atmosphere greets you as you drive up to the petrol pump. There's no need to get out of your car because a friendly gentlemen will be there before you can open the door, asking how your day has been, and how many liters you need, before filling it up himself. Sometimes it's worth paying a few extra cents for exceptional, old-fashioned service!

Any time my car has needed a quick fix, I always give JV a call, and 90 per cent of the time thye take my car the same day (usually within 15 minutes). The prices are steep, but you're paying for the convenience. There is a petrol station attached to the repair shop and the service is great. The owner always serves me with a smile, and is prompt and efficient. Another plus is the price of petrol, which is usually a few cents cheaper here than the other petrol stations in the area. And what I love most is the fact that the petrol station is never too busy, so you don't have to worry about waiting in a cue to fill up your car.

I didn't have to look far as there was a mechanic around the corner. I thought it was a full service petrol station but the only thing they don't sell is petrol. They have pool chemicals, milk, chocolates and potato crisps. They also have a huge following - always good news for a mechanic. If you want to get your car serviced you have to book as there are plenty of cars parked in the forecourt of this ex-petrol station. If however, you are a female and you have an emergency, they are absolute gentleman and will look at (and hopefully fix) your car. They carry out rego checks, wheel balances, sell tyres and do normal services. They also do services at a fixed price so you know what you're up for before you go ahead.
