Unfortunately the Euro is weakening against the dollar and other currencies.

Everything, including fuels, will get more expensive.

The problem here is that certain retailers are jumping the gun & increasing costs already,it's just greed with some of them.

148.9 for diesel in Wexford Fuels on the Old Dublin Road beside Kilcannon Garden Centre.

We would spend €100 in Tesco whether or which, my tank hold 60 litres which is about €100 worth, so I save €10. Tesco petrol is the same price as Applegreen where I go, so I reckon that makes me €10 better off.

I think your situation is more the exception rather than the rule .

Any family spending less than 50% of their weekly shopping in an outlet other than Aldi / Lidl are only fooling themselves in present climate .

Tesco will have a checklist of their most purchased items and will no doubt re-coup the 10c p/litre ( your clubcard tells them )

We actually gave up buying Tesco petrol for reasons other than the price .

We would also shop in Lidl/Aldi, in fact my wife would sometimes visit five supermarkets on a shopping trip. You seem to have issues with Tesco, that's your business but the way I see it I would have spent the 100 euro in Tesco anyway and if they're happy to give me 10c a litre off petrol for doing what I would have done anyway, I'm happy to take it.
The loyalty card is not exclusive to Tesco, so you could make the same point about other retailers or e-bay or Amazon for that matter.

It isn't. Tesco have 28.7% market share of the grocery trade ( the biggest) and growing, Aldi and Lidl combined have 12.2% and growing, especially Aldi. I would say you will have plenty of people making use of this petrol offer from Tesco .

Cantona's Collars · 24-07-2012 3:38pm

The price of fuel has gone up by 4c a litre in most stations in Enniscorthy.

163.9 @ Top, Island Road

162.9 @ Old Dublin Road

Still 159.9 @ Donohoes,Hempfield- get it there before the price rise

Everyone involved in the motor trade in this country are thieves, and are the wealthiest people in the country too. Mechanics, garages, dealers, petrol stations, and the tyre guys. The whole lot of them are thieving scum. Everything is priced excessively, and then the goverment jump on the bandwagon and tax everything excessively too. It's no wonder oil is the new gold. The profit they make is staggering.

I'm sick and tired of all this carry on. The roads are s*it, and yet look at the cost to tax a car? The money isn't been pumped into the roads. Motorways were built fair enough, but I think the goverment got all that money from Europe. Motorist's are being taken to the cleaners.

Then more thieving with this pile of crap called the NCT at a cost of €55 euro. In my opinion the NCT should be covered when you tax the car, I mean it's disgracful what has to be done to keep a car on the road.

159.9 on the Island Rd today so I think average of 163.9 might be a bit of an exaggeration. Diesel coming down nearly a cent and unleaded nearly 2c over the weekend, might get passed on by the forecourts early next week....hopefully !

A big jump then a big drop back in the space of a few days,somebody must have complained.
Noticed from driving around & reading this thread that Tesco is no longer the bastion of cheap fuel that it used to be,the discounts are linked to what you spend in store which is sneaky.

Cantona's Collars · 02-08-2012 9:33pm

158.8 for petrol @ Applegreen,Bunclody today.

Same company, in the same town, yet 1c dearer per litre down town. Absolutely ridiculous.

I've been reliably informed the the usual cheapest Applegreen near the cinema has shot to 163.8 :eek::eek: that means the others like Roches is the same or dearer. OMG.

Cantona's Collars · 16-08-2012 10:33am

Maxol Enniscorthy, 165.9. Petrol prices listed,didn't really pay attention to the diesel but they are all roughly 157.9

Donohoes Enniscorthy 163.9

Cartons & Lamberts,Camolin 168.9. Even the small garage opposite the Peugot Garage was 167.9 & that's usually fairly reasonable:eek:

Applegreen Ferns 163.9

Cheapest I saw this week was Castleknock in Dublin- 161.9.

Xander_82 · 23-08-2012 3:48pm

One thing I have noticed over the last few months is that both garages in Camolin up their prices on Sundays. I've travelled through Camolin on Fridays evenings and by Sunday evening the price has gone up about an average of 2c. Nailing the people who live in Dublin for sure.

bmaxi · 23-08-2012 5:38pm

Price in Gorey went up every day this week. Took it over two months to get from 170 to 158 and less than two weeks to get back up again.

Cantona's Collars · 23-08-2012 8:41pm

Very quick to put prices up.Donohoes Enniscorthy is 170.8 for unleaded.They kept their prices static for a while as other places in town rose theirs.As soon as the delivery truck pulled off the forecourt the price went up by 7c a litre.
At least the guy working there was honest & told people that was the scenario while other places rose prices despite the fact they had stocks of cheaper fuel in their storage tanks-greedy cnuts.

It was 164.9 in Tesco the other day,a couple of other places in Wexford were the same. (Probably 4c dearer today)

jpb1974 · 27-08-2012 11:12am

It seems that Kavanagh's at the bottom of Bohreen Hill might be closed down. I passed the other day, advertised prices were relatively low considering the rest of the town, but the place was shut, nobody to be seen at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon.

This is an interesting read -

It isn't a petrol station per se. His main business is vehichle repairs. He closes for dinner from 1-2.

vicwatson · 27-08-2012 12:30pm

Read at the weekend that the Gov takes €1.00 per litre in Excise and VAT - The Excise stays the same but the VAT varies as it rises or falls.

The importer/distributor get 8c per litre

The retailer gets 4c per litre

The rest goes to the producer

Don't hold out much hope of a decrease in tax take in the Budget, if anything plans are to increase excise duties and car tax.
In other countries they encourage the use of public transport by providing a decent service, in Ireland they just make it prohibitively expensive to drive.

Yep, it was 179.9 last night, haven't been down today yet but I'm beyond being shocked by their prices at this stage. I'm not sure if Dunbar's are still selling petrol, he was always a cent or two cheaper.

Yeap still 179.9 , dunbars haven't sold petrol for a while now but even then it was only a cent or two over market value..
Is this the most expensive fuel in Ireland ??

That's shocking. I can't believe it's 179.9. It's a 10c jump in one week. Unreal.

There's a petrol station on the old airport road in Dublin which, for years was considered to have the most expensive petrol in the country, I passed it the other day and, you guessed it, petrol was 179.9. A lot of places are catching up though, 172.9 in Kilmacanogue. It makes me laugh when I hear the apologists cite Euro/Dollar exchange rates as a reason for increasing fuel prices, the Euro has appreciated by about 5% against the dollar recently, production in the Gulf of Mexico has restarted, Chinese growth has slowed but the price of petrol still goes up. The real reasons are greedy, over powerful oil companies and short sighted politicians who probably don't pay for their petrol anyway.

It's gotten to the stage that an investigation has been launched in the UK over fuel prices,fuel there has always been expensive as they have a different road tax system which is built into the price of fuel unlike here where we get stung twice with taxes.No investigation here:rolleyes:

€171.9 for petrol @ Topaz near the Quay New Ross.

€168.9 @ Maxol Enniscorthy.
