    167.9 @ Maxol Enniscorthy,they put it up to 169.9 the other day then dropped it to 167.9 this morning.....is this a ploy to dupe people into thinking they are getting a good deal on the price?

    .

    Having tried most of them I reckon you can't beat WFC.
    Prompt, efficient and fair, if your delivery falls a bit short of your order they won't penalise you like some will.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    163.9 Petrol & 153.9 Diesel in Econ Fuels Bunclody.

    €930 for 1000 litres with WFC I must agree they provide a top class service I don't use anyone else tbh.

    The euro has gone from buying about $1.21 in August to $1.31 today and oil has fallen in price on international markets. I don't see any evidence of price reductions at the forecourts !! Drove around the ring road and in by LIDL in New Ross yesterday and all garages seem to be charging the same price at 167.9p/l unleaded !! No way is there price fixing going on. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    476€ for 500 litres from Top Oil, 485€ from Mr.Oil and WFC

    Newline oil are offering a free 40kg bag of smokeless coal with every heating oil order over €500.

    Price of petrol in Enniscorthy has stayed static & averages 167.9c a litre.


  • Registered Users Posts: 223 ✭✭Diamond_Ninja


    I saw somewhere in Wexford with petrol for 164.9, could possibly be the garage on the left between the hospital and the Maldron, heading for the Maldron.

    Tesco New Ross is 169.9 tonight and the garage 200 yards away ( Campus ) is only 167.9 ( unleaded )

    Campus & Topaz now down to 162.9 for unleaded ,Tesco still @ 169.9


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭oldyouth


    Usually get our Kerosene from Mr. Oil and rang them today for a price. Quote was €485 for 500 litres. They asked when it would be suitable to deliver and I told them I had €475 (genuine) from Campus. They immediately offered to match and being delivered tomorrow

    It kind of makes a mockery of your 'price fixing' and 'pricing being static' statements ! Those prices at Topaz and Campus would seem genuine based on the two price decreases in unleaded to the forecourts this week....approx 6c.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Should've stated in my post that it was New Ross I was talking about,not Enniscorthy where prices are 167.9 at stations around the town.Btw,theres no Tesco in Enniscorthy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,585 ✭✭✭jca


    Top fuels on the island road in enniscorthy 157.9 for both petrol and diesel... Bad diesel price but very good for petrol. I thought it was a mistake on the sign but I checked and its correct. P

    163.9 in Discount Fuels beside Tesco in Gorey & same price in Maxol,Enniscorthy.

    For those wanting home heating oil,Newline Oil are offering a free 20kg bag of smokeless coal with every order of €200 or more.Saw a big poster stuck on a van advertising it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    161.8 at Applegreen out near the cinema


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    159.8 in Roches yesterday. means applegreen will be even better as they are always cheaper than Roches

    In portlaoise yesterday I saw 152.9 - yes. 152.9.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,859 ✭✭✭bmaxi


    Don't get too used to it, the arse seems to have dropped out of the Euro again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    158.9 in Ferns & Camolin, Applegreen Arklow is 4c a litre dearer than in Ferns.

    Was told that petrol was 142.9 in one place in Carlow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 903 ✭✭✭bernardo mac

    can assure you it wasnt 142.9 in Carlow. The maxol on the Dublin road had it cheaper than Diesel for a spell last week at around 1.52, but it was for a day or 2. certainly not 142.9 anyway. seems to be on average around 1.55 around Carlow, and Diesel 1c cheaper.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,859 ✭✭✭bmaxi


    Haven't seen petrol as low as €1.42 for a long time. One drawback to the reducing price of fuel is, it gives Noonan the excuse to slap more excise duty on it.

    As I said,I was told,so didn't see it first hand. Reckon it was 152.9 & not 142.9


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,893 ✭✭✭allthedoyles


    Theres a service station in New Ross where petrol has increased by 2c to 1.56 p/l.

    When you look at the signage , the diesel price is shining bright , but the petrol price is faded .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,893 ✭✭✭allthedoyles


    Best price 158.9 for unleaded in New Ross these days .......it seems be going upwards though in some service stations


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars

    Same at every station in Enniscorthy,it's around 156.9 in Wexford. 160.9 in Ballymurn & that used to be one of the cheapest places for fuel,strangely though,the price of diesel hasn't risen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭RKQ


    Diesel is only 150.9 in Ferns & Camolin, yet its over 154.9 in Enniscorthy?
    Its a pity Enniscorthy is always more expensive as it encourages people to shop outside the town.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    I continue to advise the public to be very careful in looking at the "price" only when buying all fuels- petrol/diesel/home heating oil.

    Yet you wouldn't tell me by PM who you suspected of selling dodgy home heating oil :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Petrol gone up by another cent at Maxol,Bellfield- 159.9 now,diesel gone up to 155.9, that place really loves to stick the prices up as soon as they get the chance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Prices gone over the 160c mark now,163.9 @ Donohoes & Kavanaghs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,859 ✭✭✭bmaxi


    Maxol on Arklow Road, Gorey, refused to honour a genuine Maxol money off voucher today, even though they're on the list of participating stations. Just another reason to avoid these rip off merchants.

    Unbelieveable stuff. My brother got petrol in a texaco garage in ferns a few years ago and they wouldn't accept his company texaco fuel card....

    You'd need to be sure what station you're talking about before you accuse them of scamming. Maxol is in Fahy's Cross, Ardcavan.
