Don't know if this is happening else where, but a lot of the BP servo's around Newcastle, Lake Macquarie have been closing down.
4 BP's have closed in the past 12 months (with the land being sold), & last week another one closed to be replaced by a Shell/Coles Express. In the past 2 years 1 new BP has opened (changed from Mobil), 1 BP has been half built for about 2 years now (building & signage, no pumps installed), but never opened. We're down to about 10-12 scattered all over Newcastle, (some of those listed on the BP site locator no longer exist). 1 Mobil has closed in the last 3 years but a couple more have opened, Shell/Coles & Caltex/Woolworths are opening all over the place, a few independents have closed but quite a few more United servos have opened. BP servos would now be in the minority of servos around Newcastle, if this slide continues the FPV may be going thirsty or I might have to bring in 20-50 litre drums of Ultimate from elsewhere for my own supply.  : |
