Grealish's Carnmore X

Das Kitty · 09-12-2008 9:09am

Probably worth a trip after work

coup1917 · 09-12-2008 11:03am

Think Tesco in claremorris was at 98.9 at the wkend..
Delighted to see that joke of a garage in claregalway getting reemed here.. Have only ever stopped in there once or twice as a last resort but usually find I can head through Turloughmore and fill up there..

They're definitely price fixing in around the city..
Won't be long before its on the rise again probably...........:(

I wont say its happening for sure but when Topaz came on the scene it pretty much took control of all the city centre filling stations and they are all a bloody rip off.

If a small guy out in Carnmore can undercut a major player like Topaz then I think Topaz or their agents in Galway are taking a large margin. I know they have higher costs associated with inner city sites and shops etc but surely they would have the higher volume of trade to easily match Carnmore and still make a respectable profit.

I don’t honestly understand how Topaz in Bslow was down at 99.9 one Friday when I filled there and every Topaz in Galway city was 105.9. Is there really 6cent a litre difference in getting the fuel to Galway and the increase in cost of operation?

Once you go north of Tuam to Ballindine and into Mayo, the prices seem to come down.

soundbyte · 09-12-2008 11:57am

Campus in CLaregalway is no more! About bloody time too. Forecourt signage came down yesterday.

No prizes for guessing what branding it'll reopen under!!!!

Bass Cadet · 09-12-2008 2:01pm

The garage at Derrydonnell (at turn off for Athenry on the N6) is charging only €0.99 and have some good offers like a screw driver set for €5 if ya spend over €20 on petrol...dunno how good or bad the set is but still, fair play to them!

Price fixing definately happening in the city...f*ckin disgrace

tonyhiggins · 09-12-2008 8:07pm

Carnmore petrol station for me today on the way to Tuam, 99c

Siopa an Phiobal was 96 cent todday (wtih €40 worth of shopping)..

Do they subtract your pork returns when totting up the 40?

99.9 for petrol and diesel in Turloughmore (roscommon road) . Maxol and Topaz garage

Das Kitty · 10-12-2008 9:03am

99.9 in Hogan's on the Ballybrit Dual Carriageway (both petrol and diesel). Hopefully this will spark the rest of town to drop below the Euro mark.

Excellent!

As you say hopefully others will have to drop below the €1 mark now too.

Hotwheels · 10-12-2008 12:47pm

Diesel 97.9 in Corrib oil this morning...:)

SalthillGuy · 10-12-2008 9:56pm

99.9 in Lough Atalia now too so hopefully...

SalthillGuy · 11-12-2008 10:19am

Diesel was cheaper than petrol in Tuam yesterday.
Is that unusual.?

At Last, petrol under 1euro/litre in the city !!

It only took 2/3 weeks after the rest of the country but we got there in the end !

btw, on pumps.ie it says carnmore station is selling at 90.9.

SalthillGuy · 11-12-2008 11:11am

That must be a typo with Carnmore, but there are isolated cases around the country where we see what it can be sold for.

KevR · 11-12-2008 1:58pm

Diesel & Petrol both 99.9cent in Topaz Westside today.

Das Kitty · 11-12-2008 2:01pm

Just filled up in Hogans there, it was very nice to see 27.03litres for €27 I'll tell ya!

Passed Grealishs this morning in Carnmore - 98.9 and 97.9 for Petrol and Diesel

Fey! · 11-12-2008 3:32pm

Texaco on the docks is also 99.9 for both.

MackDeToaster · 13-12-2008 1:18pm

95.9 for diesel at Lackagh/Turloughmore there yesterday, think it was 99.9 for petrol.

KevR · 13-12-2008 1:21pm

Need to get petrol today and I'm looking forward to seeing the litre counter going up faster than the euro counter for the first time in a long time.

galwayrush · 13-12-2008 9:16pm

Got diesel in Topaz Turloughmore today, 95.9. Only a few weeks ago it was the cheapest place around at 1.40

tonyhiggins · 14-12-2008 6:53am

99.8 in Loughrea today.... Oh the difference that .1 makes :P

That I believe is where the prices should be at. There is no danger if prices going up, but it is taking far too long to bring them down. The 'what we have in stock at a certain buy price' does not work for me.

They'd want fairly big reservoirs if they're still holding stock from 5 months ago

KevR · 14-12-2008 2:34pm

Off-topic a bit but OPEC are apparently considering cutting output (between 1 million and 2 million barrels per day) for a third time in recent months. The previous 2 cuts in production didn't stop petrol prices falling, lets hope this one doesn't either.

extraice · 15-12-2008 4:52am

Corrib Oil Tuam Road - opposite Monaghans - 97.9 for Diesel on Saturday 13th

SalthillGuy · 16-12-2008 9:05am

Why is diesel getting cheaper than petrol as the prices come down.?

Well diesel did not have an extra 8c a litre added to it back in the budget. There would come a point where the government duty really does make a difference in price as the cost of refined fuel can only go so low.

Last year everyone was wondering why diesel was going up faster than petrol. Think the reasoning at the time was the demand on the limited supply of diesel. With the econ going south quickly I'm guessing there are plenty of truck's no longer filling their tanks and reducing the demand thus also having an effect on cost.

mndgz · 16-12-2008 7:19pm

all of tuam still 99.9...

turloughmore p-97.9, d-95.9

claregalway 99.9, i think there was a management change, the old crowd just would go as low

SalthillGuy · 16-12-2008 9:19pm

It must have been a management change to go below 1 euro at this point in Claregalway.

KevR · 21-12-2008 2:55pm

Few places in Galway City have dropped to 98.9c

Not in Galway but I think it's worth remarking that petrol is generally 2 or 3c cheaper in petrol stations in Limerick than stations in Galway City & County.
