The ESSO (Tigh Neil) up the road in Inverin is 111.9 however.

Cant think of the name of the shop but it's just two pumps outside a small mace type convenience store.

110.9 in Hogan's this morning as I was whizzing past late for work, as usual.

Take away the recent 8 cent tax hike and we're nearing sub €1 levels again.

Oil shortage my ass. More like greed, corruption, fear mongering and profit maximization.

Isnt it a sickner about the increased tax with prices dropping so much...
One thing the guberment got lucky with - heat was taken off that decision nicely for them

One thing I notice going up and down to Dublin a bit lately is that petrol is normally 2-3c's cheaper in Dublin then down here

I used to go to Hogans but now I normally pop up the place by Grealishs at carnmore.

It can be anywhere from 1-4c's cheaper then Hogans

Was coming out of Dublin Sunday and round the corner from the GF's place at Kilmainham at the Topez it was 108.9

The 8 cent hike is bad enough but the way that the oil refinery's are allowed to cut production just to drive up prices is just unbelievable. Its blatant price fixing in my books an it should not be allowed. They even announce the fact that they are cutting production instead of keeping it quite absolute pack of w*****s.

Delighted to see this discussion. The reason fuel in Galway is expensive is that Galway people don't bother to shop around for the cheapest petrol. Ask the average Galway person how much they paid for their last fill, you'll get a blank look.

If you don't enjoy throwing money away, www.pumps.ie is a very useful website. Right now, it says that the cheapest petrol (and diesel) near Galway city is 106.9 at Carnmore cross. Don't take my word for it though...

Just as a comparison petrol is now 104.9 in Tralee, had been 108.9 for weeks before that. 111.9 is the cheapest i've seen in Galway City though

Hotwheels · 17-11-2008, 20:13

107.9 For diesel & petrol in Turloughmore today.....

gaillimheach · 17-11-2008, 23:39

Also, for comparison, Ambers in Youghall was 104.9 on Sat. last. I think Tigh Neills in Indreabhán is currently the cheapest on the west side of Galway city. Can't remember if it's 108.9 or 109.9 there...

**Das Kitty** · 18-11-2008, 08:54

Got me petrol in Grealish's in Carnmore Cross yesterday for 106.9. It was only because I was on my way to Corofin, it's ages out of my way otherwise.

JohnCleary · 18-11-2008, 12:29

106.9 for diesel in Ballindine last night
