    I heard on the news that petrol prices are due to drop by up to 10c in the next couple of weeks, and on another news station that oil prices are at their lowest since April 2010. Notwithstanding increases in VAT and carbon tax, I don't think petrol prices are only 10c ahead of where they were in 2010 so they should have a bit more to go yet. Watch Noonan having a swipe at this.:mad:

    Surely retailers are entitled to continue selling their stock at current price , until they get the next fill at the reduced price .

    They are always way more expensive than anywhere else.They will have that stock for a long time when they continue to charge extortionate prices.

    I'd agree with this but when prices are increasing we are told they have to charge "replacement cost"

    Basically what I'm saying is that they are far quicker to increase prices than reduce them yet always have justifications for accelerating increases that don't seem to apply to decrease and reasons to delay decreases that don't seem to apply to increases :rolleyes:

    Its nice to see fuel prices coming down , but it is a sign of the economy in general.

    If the economy improves , fuel prices will increase as well.

    At the moment it is a downward spiral.

    Came across a receipt in my car for January of this year when I paid 149.9c/litre for petrol. If oil is at it's lowest price since April 2010, you can get an idea of price history from this chart http://www.nyse.tv/crude-oil-price-history.htm, and there have been no tax increases since, why are we still paying up to 160c/litre? There has to be a rip off somewhere.

    Wasn't there additional carbon tax?

    Still no sign of the predicted 10c drop in unleaded .

    The nearest to it that I can see is Carlow Town 152.9

    Unfortunatley it is also applies to petrol & diesel.

    http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2011/1206/breaking31.html

    "Carbon tax is applied to a range of domestic and transport fuels and is measured by calculating the weight of carbon dioxide emitted by each fuel."

    Bunclody is one of the cheapest places around at the moment. I am pretty sure these are the prices at present -

    Econ
    152.9 (P) 142.9 (D)

    Applegreen
    153.9 (P) 143.9 (D)

    Texaco (Not 100% certain on this one)
    153.9 (P) 143.9 (D)

    Yes, you are right.

    I thought you were implying that there have been no additional petrol and diesel taxes since April 2010, but upon re-reading your original post I can now see that you meant no tax increases since Jan 2012.

    The last tax increase on petrol and diesel was at midnight on Dec 6th 2011.

    The Euro has dropped in value against the Dollar and crude oil prices have increased slightly but once again, instant effect on prices in an upward direction whereas we never actually achieved the promised level of decrease.
