Zerks, any chance of changing the thread title to "Price of fuel in Co.Wexford" so everyone can throw in their prices from around the county. I think there should be a county wide thread. Maybe this could turn into it? There are already posts up from around the county.

Whatcha think?

[zerks]

The thread has progressed so the idea of naming where we can get the cheapest fuel in the county and shame the rip-off merchants seems logical.

Maybe we'd all be better campaigning for the government to abolish some of the 'carbon tax' and extra excise duties, which they loaded onto motor fuel in recent years, any time the cost dropped down.

All that has achieved is the ratcheting up of prices, when cost of oil increases again. It's inexorable and the most annoying thing as regards tax is that the government cut keep rising as their levies are on a percentage basis. The oil companies add on say 2c a litre and the cost goes up by 3c as VAT etc. has an impact...

163.9 at Applegreen in Gorey, 162.9 at Great Gas on the Arklow Road. They ususlly track one another so I'd expect Great Gas to go up today.

WTF? It's getting out of control and no-one seems to be saying a word about it. The Government's take is massive and has also increased the price over the last few months.

There's an interesting table on AA site at http://www.aaireland.ie/AA/Motoring-...ch%202012.ashx

We got a diesel fueled family car back in 2003 and I well remember that diesel was €0.80 a litre then - it's practically doubled now in 9 years. But go back to 1993/4 and the cost was c€0.70 litre. So it went up 10 cents in that decade 1993-2003 and by 798 cents in the next 9 years......... living in a rural area with teenage kids needs some serious thought these days.

In Enniscorthy it doesn't take long for all the filling stations to fall into line with pricing.It was 165.9 in Mace this morning & 167.9 in Donohoes,by this evening,Mace had matched Donohoes price.Then they refute allegations of price fixing in the town

I'd never get fuel at Woodlands,they are a complete rip-off.

Cheapest in Enniscorthy is now the Esso on the Island Road. 164.9.

[zerks]

Average price in Enniscorthy is 167.9,saw petrol for sale in Drinagh (petrol station near the Scania garage) Wexford for 163.8: That's the cheapest I've seen in the county for a while.
