TODAYS CHEAPEST PETROL THREAD!!

CRAIG07 · 24-07-2008 1:23pm #1

ok people here you can post all the petrol / diesel prices that you have seen today, then we can see who is the cheapest in limerick.

Pshan · 24-07-2008 2:05pm

What prices have you seen and where?

acalmenvoy · 24-07-2008 2:10pm

Shell in thomondgate, across from quiltys E1.33, it's topaz now...

Hansel · 24-07-2008 2:11pm

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.

um7y1h83ge06nx · 24-07-2008 2:13pm

The Esso (I think that's it) in Groody/Castletroy is 131.99

samhain's son · 24-07-2008 4:29pm

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

the drifter · 28-07-2008 12:52pm

payed 137 for dozzil and 129 for petrol over the weekend at the texaco in raheen.....

TheTubes · 28-07-2008 12:56pm

1.29 in cork city, esso on the left at the start of the link road heading out of town towards the kinsale road roundabout.

Delphi91 · 28-07-2008 6:22pm

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.

Mike

Comhrá · 28-07-2008 10:51pm

JerryHandbag · 29-07-2008 12:10am

Kess73 · 29-07-2008 12:27pm

The dearest garage in Charleville is selling unleaded at 128.9 and diesel at 138.9

Osk · 30-07-2008 11:55am

MarkR · 31-07-2008 9:31pm

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.

Hansel · 01-08-2008 12:48pm

Anybody else find it sad that we find the current prices "cheap"?:(

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.

Crea · 01-08-2008 3:41pm

€1.29 in Topaz in Corbally.

MarkR · 01-08-2008 3:49pm

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.

Delphi91 · 04-08-2008 10:19pm

I know it's not local, but I got it for 125.2 in Midleton on Friday night.

Mike

Kess73 · 04-08-2008 11:31pm

Texaco in Raheen was 125.5 for unleaded when I was there today.

Dont think so - try the Texaco in Raheen, near Casey's it's 125.9.

bazz26 · 10-08-2008 11:48pm

Got my diesel today in Chawks on the Dublin Road at 133.9, cannot remember the price of his petrol though.

the drifter · 11-08-2008 8:44am

Chawlkes is 128 for petrol....

Fizman · 11-08-2008 1:40pm

Also 126.9 for petrol in Topaz in Grove Island/Corbally.

rok · 12-08-2008 9:58am

some of the Topaz stations on the Ennis road seems to be running low on petrol lately, again last night the Topaz at coonagh Cross had the yellow Out-Of-Order locks on nearly all pumps

Osk · 12-08-2008 1:06pm

I think most of the Topaz stations that used to be Shell have the out of order locks on the pumps that used to be v-power (or v-something!). Topaz beside Advance types on Ennis Road and Topaz in Shannon are both 126.9 today.

The station beside the Hi-way/Regional Hospital was 133.9 for petrol last night :eek:

Fizman · 13-08-2008 1:45am

125.9 in Topaz Corbally/Grove island tonight for petrol.
135.9 for diesel.

canned · 15-08-2008 8:02am

Chawkes on Dublin road seems cheapest right now.
Can't remember the price but it was better than the Texaco in Raheen which, last time I looked was 126 for petrol and 130.9 for deisel

Hansel · 15-08-2008 4:33pm

Texaco Raheen this morning was 124.8 pl.

They also look like they're about to introduce their "fast pay" system, which is where you can pay at the pumps with your lazer/credit card.
They had little cards inside the shop advertising it.

TestTransmission · 15-08-2008 5:04pm

123.9 in Topaz Corbally/Grove island

tfitzgerald · 18-08-2008 4:58pm

The amber petrol station in askeaton is at 125.9 (sunday night 17-8-08)thats the cheapest i have seen it so far

black & white · 19-08-2008 8:28am

Filled up with Diesel at the XL place on Clare st yesterday, 129.9.

Just passed by the Castletroy Park Hotel and both garages on the roundabout there have diesel at 129.9 as well.

Musha · 19-08-2008 4:09pm

Ah, no bother. That site is handy but can get outdated quickly if fuel prices start jumping up and down regularly.

You could go mad and update it yourself?

Btw, petrol in shannon us 118.9, diesel 125.9. I'm sure it'll filter into limerick shortly.
