I'd be very warey of buying diesel there.....

Oh dear, I've been bombing around the past two months on their diesel... without much fuss I might add, car was performing mpg -wise as expected.

Prices had dropped on my way home:

Petrol 159.9
Diesel 151.9

Most places on the way into Carlow are the same, including the Texaco in Ballon.

Enniscorthy petrol stations are getting no a single cent of my money... if just one of them had the balls to bring their prices in line with some of the better value places their business would probably go up 25-50%.

Typical of Enniscorthy,average price of petrol is 166c per litre,the locals who don't travel much to other parts of the country will always buy fuel locally,however the retailers haven't copped that these people are spending the bare minimum on fuel due to extortionate prices.Drop the prices and more fuel will be bought.You'll see people putting a tenner in at Enniscorthy filling stations but if they are elsewhere and see the price is way cheaper,they'll put €20 or €30 worth of fuel in their cars.

Ballymurn has petrol @ 159.9c per litre.

Gorey seems to be very slow in implementing the full reduction in petrol prices. I was in Dublin yesterday and stations which had been 3 and 4 cents above cheapest Gorey prices are now up to 3 cents below.

I agree. I drove past Adamstown yesterday selling petrol at 166.9 with an almost empty tank and carried on to Bunclody where it is for sale at 159.9. I presume someone must be buying it at the higher price but not me at that price.

I hope you understand that you travelled 22 miles from Adamstown to Bunclody to save €0.07 cent per litre .

If you put €30 into the car in Bunclody , you saved € 1.26 .

If your car is doing 35mpg , it cost you €4.55 to drive this 22 miles .

Plus , its not good for the fuel system to be driving on an almost empty tank

160.9 for petrol & 150.9 for diesel in Clonroche.

The bold part is only really true if their route did not already take them via Bunclody. If it in fact did, then it cost them €0.00, and the use of the phrase "carried on" suggests that Bunclody certainly wasn't out of the way. And if they went so far as to fill up in Bunclody, then the extra space in the tank from that theoretically driving saved them more compared to Adamstown!

Also, the price difference is actually €1.31 ( (30/1.599)*1.669 = 31.31), which while similarly minute is no more irrelevant than assuming that Bunclody was completely out of the poster's way!

Similarly , the extra €1.31 received in Bunclody will take the driver 6 miles if the car is doing 35mpg .

This could become relevant if the driver does not reside within a 6 mile radius of Bunclody .

Yeah, ignore the entirely more likely possibility that the poster was driving on a route that took them through Bunclody (or even within a 6 mile radius, if you prefer) too while you're at it....

Unless you're trying to claim that there is never any point in a driver buying petrol other than where they are from, or at the start of their journey, I fail to see the point here.
