    Just wondering where the cheapest fuel is at the moment?
    I'm in the Dooradoyle/Raheen area and the price of diesel is making me cry at the moment :(

    I got my diesel at the Esso station next to Singland Motors on the Dublin Road last Sunday at 118.9 a litre. Unleaded was the same price. That was the cheapest I found. On Monday morning the diesel was gone up to 123.9 a litre.

    The Statoil/Shell out in Corbally near Grove Island was 116.9 last time I checked. Apple out in Shannon Banks are similarly priced.

    ive payed 125.9 126.9 and 128.9 since lst saturday for dozzil.....anyone want to buy a jeep.. the 125.9 was in clarina usually the cheapest around..

    I see these prices everywhere at the moment myself.
    I was hoping someone would have replied with a sub 120 price for somplace within ~10miles(I'm willing to travel for it within reason :D)

    Singland motors was cheapest a couple of days ago. 118.9 I think.

    On the old Cork or Ballyneety Rd, the first filling station on the left is usually quite cheap also, the station at Barrys Cross, out about three miles beyond B allyneety is very competitive and one of the cheapest around.
    Dooradoyle and Raheen are the dearest in Limerick, I live there and never buy more than a fivers worth....

    My brother passed a garage in Dublin yesterday selling petrol at 1.79 a litre!

    I can reply with a sub 1.20 price for diesel and petrol but it is not within 10 miles of the city. On the way to Newcastle West there is a petrol station about 2 mile from Newcastle on the left and this morning it was 118.9. It is not one of the big brand stations like Shell etc. It is called Discount Fuels I think.

    Apple in Shannon banks is the cheapest in Limerick at the moment. Petrol is 116.8 or 111.8 if you are buying a car wash at the same time. Has been that price for nearly a month now.


    The same off applies with diesel, 5 cent off a litre if you were getting a carwash.

    Yeah ive found that Apple place and the Shell in Corbally to consistently be the cheapest around.

    IIRC the Shell here in Shannon is charging 119

    Cheap fuel is one thing, but you'll get different mileage from different stations. Dont ask me why.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,641 ✭✭✭zilog_jones


    Cheapest I usually see are the Shell in Thomondgate (though I think it's usually the same price as in the one in Corbally), and sometimes the Emo on Clare St. Don't know about diesel though.

    Whenever I'm in Patrickswell I usually find it a good bit cheaper than in town.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,312 ✭✭✭Limerick Dude


    Shell in thomondgate is the cheapest as far as i know.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,106 ✭✭✭✭TestTransmission


    Always found petrol in Apple in Corbally terrible,dont ask me why


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag

    Over the last few weeks I have got all my fuel in either Apple, Corbally or Thomongate and my driving is generally urban with one or two long journeys and I've averaged 14 Kms to a litre of fuel regardless of where I've purchsed. Not scientific but certainly an indicator.

    Pat Keogh on the Tipperary Road is charging 130.9 for his diesel afaik.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,560 ✭✭✭✭Kess73


    117.2 for petrol in Apple in Shannonbanks. A further 5c off a litre if you are getting any car wash at the time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 892 ✭✭✭Doodlebug


    I always go and fill up a full tank at TOP in Clarina - not too much of a spin from Dooradoyle and worth it for a full tank! :)

    Thanks for the list Sickboy!

    BTW lads, check www.pumps.ie and maybe update it yourself the odd time if you notice a price - good or bad. Its a great idea - only started using it again there recently.

    A new TOPAZ filling station (its a spar express) opened on the Mountmellick road in Portlaois. Petrol and diesel is 112.9 a litre. Just down the road theres a campus filling station (owned by my cousin and also a spar express) he's selling petrol and diesel for 114.9 but on a Saturday and Sunday he sells it for 109.9 when you buy any car wash. This price war has been going on ever since TOPAZ moved in and we're all delighted!
