Cheaper Petrol/Diesel

mobby

Apple Green Celbridge have reduced their Fuel Prices from €1.15.9 Christmas eve. to €1.09.9 some sort of festive fuel sale . anyone heading west or returning on the N4 from the west maybe interested. or if you live around Celbridge, Lexlip, Lucan areas etc. Not bad considering its 118.9 in Lucan.

Its same in Enfield

Thats €1.09 for both unleaded petrol and Diesel in Enfield, Co. Meath

Prices i think are just dropping a bit, was a drop in price of oil a few weeks ago.

Seen 109.9 in Grange Service Station in Baldoyle and also in the Discount Fuel Place on the Ballyfermot Road. That was just on my travels today

WHIP IT!

Apple in Inchicore is the same (109.9) - only 1.04.9 if you get the car washed there as well...

You are all lucky people. The average price in this neck of of the woods (East Donegal) is 120.9 and the fuckers have the cheek to say that they have less than 5 cents/litre profit on it and they even stated that as part of an objection to Tesco building a new store and filling station in Ballybofey.

I was in North Donegal a couple of weeks ago and it was retailing at 115.9 so the poor critters in the Gaeltacht are selling it at a loss :eek:

€1.09 at the Clonsilla garage service station.(Dublin 15) That was this mornings prices bby the way.

Good stuff hope it continues to drop in price so. strange thing about apple green was they upped the price from 114.9 to 115.9 on christmas eve. and then dropped the price to 109.9 on Christmas day.

Muffler less then a 5min drive from Apple Green Celbridge, in Maxol Lucan it is 118.9 and the place was full. It dont make sense.

bmaxi

108.9 in Arklow, 106.9 for diesel. They did the same thing last year and held it for about 2 weeks as a thank you to their customers, Fair do's, there are a few who could follow their lead in the customer relations area.

Apple in Corbally in Limerick is 109.9 for unleaded or 104.9 if you are buying a car wash at the same time.

Driving between Portmarnock and Howth last night and I'm pretty sure that the price for 'pehrol' was 106.9 a litre in a 'top' garage.

This is probably true.

There was a Shell garage here in Clontarf in Dublin, who was getting really lots of very bad publicity, about the price he was charging for petrol. It was so bad that it was effecting the sale of cars from his garage. Give a dog a bad name etc. Would you buy a car from someone known to overcharge and the evidence was right in front of you

Attached link from FG (I have no connection btw) shows the situation.

The owner of the station eventually withdrew from the petrol market altogether, and concentrated on selling cars. He also invited journalists in to inspect his books. He was able to show them that he was paying more per litre, than it was being sold to the public, down the road in Tesco. How could he possibly compete with that and make a profit as well.

You are being ripped off allright, but it's more the petrol companied that are doing it, rather than the individual petrol station owners.

Given your location, and with the volume of traffic coming across the border for a fill up, there is no incentive for the main oil companied to be competitive.

Had the same problem in Sligo so I got this.

Save 4 or 5 cent per litre on petrol as against the pump price in Sligo.

Currently 116.1 for petrol.

Something similar with the Benchmark/Statoil card 116.4 for petrol and 119.53 for deisel

Yes it is a statoil card, however it only works at statoil stations as I don't have a pin for it, when I went to other non statoil stations that took the statoil card, this card would not work as I did not have a Pin no for it.

Also it is very handy being able to check the price on the web.

The Top Station beside Kinsealy Church on the Malahide Road also have Petrol and Diesel @ €1.09 Per Litre while stocks last..

Prices seem to have gone amok since Shell merged with Statoil. Prices here in Midleton are way above prices on the Dublin Road, even though they are the closest garages to the refinery. They whinged on for years that the further you went, the more expensive it had to be, due to the cost of delivering it, but it just looks like a wholesale rip-off to me. When i worked ina garage all those years ago (Alright 25 to be exact) they worked on 5p per gallon.

They're all whingers full stop. If you think it's bad here, if you drive towards Dungarvan direction it goes up in leaps and bounds. I watched the prices on the way home one time and there was a 10c per litre tail-off on average.

If you shop in Super Valu and produce a receipt, the Texaco alongside Bernard Cashman's SEAT will give you something like 5c off per litre. I'm not sure what the price now is, it's been a fortnight since I got petrol.

Biggest scam of all is the cost of diesel despite the fact that it needs a fraction of the refinement. I remember in my 26 years having diesel like 20p a litre cheaper.

Wait until tesco own the country then you are really fooked.

Only cheaper while there is sufficient competition.

yeah i cant understand this either.
diesel used to be much cheaper than petrol , what has changed ?
why is diesel more expensive now ?

unkel

Pumps.ie will give you the cheapest prices in your area. From my experience, it is usually updated regularly - well in the Dublin area anyway

The companies know there will be a massive coversion to diesel in the next couple of years so they are moving to get the price of diesel to higher than petrol to protect their margins. Remember that diesel has about 6 or 8 cent a litre LESS excise duty than petrol so that is going straight into the opil companies profit margins!!!

Down the road the Statoil in Baldoyle selling petrol at 109.9.

Shop around people!

eire1

Discount Fuels on the Clonsilla Road is 109.9 aswell.

Sully

117.9 in Esso Tramore, 115.9 in Statoil Waterford and 110.9 Tesco Waterford.

Statoil Fuel Card is expensive, but I think if you buy cheaper you get that price. Doesnt require a pin here..
