    Haven't seen today's price, but the Amber station on the Kilmallock road is consistently the cheapest that I can find. Normally a good 2 or 3 cent per litre cheaper than Texaco, Topaz(new name for Shell & Statoil) etc.

    I have been boycotting Shell and Statoil over the Mayo Gas pipeline but it would be so handy for me to be able to pop into the Shell garage as there is one very close to where I live - is Topaz just a new name for Shell and Statoil or is it a new company that have taken over their petrol stations which means I could use the premises?

    Looks to me that you're ok to use them....

    Topaz Energy Ltd has announced a €50 million investment programme to support the launch of the new Topaz
    brand in the Irish fuels and retail business. The company, which is one of Ireland’s
    largest privately owned companies, has a turnover of over €3.5 billion a year and has
    more than 1.5 million customer transactions each week.
    In 2005 and 2006 respectively it bought the retail and commercial fuels businesses of
    Shell and Statoil in Ireland. It is the largest fuels business in the country. The company
    expects to create 400 new jobs as a result of this investment programme.
    The new Topaz brand will replace the Shell and Statoil brands in the Irish retail and commercial fuels market.

    I've never had that problem. In fact, my fuel efficiency has increased lately, which is kind of bizarre. No complaints here though.:D

    Bought it in the Amber in the centre of Charleville yesterday for 128.4 - it's the lowest I've seen. It's 128.9 at the Topaz on the way into Charleville by Lidl.

    This is a lot of work guys. Try www.pumps.ie. All the local stations are there and you just update the current price. I try to update it with the local ones if I remember them.

    The thread is actually for the "cheapest" petrol. Its all relative.

    Anyways, I have a Benchmark fuel card. I can use it at any Statoil (now Topaz). Cost is 127.5 at any Topaz station for petrol, and 139.9 for diesel.

    It's cheaper in half a dozen places in limerick now.
    • Texaco Raheen - 125.5
    • Shell Sexton St - 127.9
    Found these on pumps.ie, so I can't guarantee them myself. Actually i can for the shell as I seen it myself earlier.

    I bought my diesel at an Esso station last week for 138.9 with no fuel card.
