These days you quickly reach a point where going out of your way by more than a few miles negates the savings.

Good value? Its the same price as Statoil. Very expensive.

It is yeah, I passed out that way today also.

Meanwhile, Statoil and most other stations didnt drop there prices.

Its the one thing I notice about Tesco - there prices always seem very fair. They wait as long as possible to rise prices and drop them soon after prices of petrol go down.

Speaking of filling techniques, you get more fuel for your money in winter as its denser. Or the poster is...

Also, if you pay in conjunction with a clubcard in tesco you will get the equivalent of 1 percent back in tesco vouchers so it becomes very slightly cheaper than the autoport...Every little helps:D

Sully

Also, if you spend over €50 you get 5c of Petrol*

*I think

yeah saving money is great and whatnot, but unless you do a massive amount of driving all you're saving is a couple of euro. if, for example, you put 70 litres a week into your car at 1.26 instead of 1.29 you save 2.10
i like solero's

hmm, ok
so using your logic you'd save 109.20e a year if it stayed around the same price, thats still money worth saving tbh

robtri

I will take that 100 euro a year any time....

I wonder would they make enough business to open 24hrs? I rarely get petrol there as I mainly get it at night when there closed. At that rate, I can see a lot of taxis etc. heading there. The Statoil fuel card is no longer useful.

dlofnep

It's not the idea that saving a few quid that really matters. I think the most important thing is that the petrol stations see that nobody will tolerate their high prices and will go to another station, even if it means only saving a few pence. It forces stations to become competitive, and cut prices to try match the next one.

Still, not everybody cares and some will pay a few extra pence out of convenience. Thank god I only drive in and out of work in my car.. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it. You can't even go for a spin to get away for an hour or two from the city without worrying how much it's going to set you back.

The Autoport is over 10c cheaper then the petrol station across the road from where I live :eek: its crazy

luvlylady

Statoil in the Manor is 127.9 as of lunchtime today. A guy was changing it down from 128.9 when I arrived to fill up.

Sully

No change to the Autoport anyway, glad to see Statoil are finally lowering their prices - very hesitant at it tho. I found out yesterday I get it at 125.05 using the statoil card though (well, till Saturday and it changes again)

Tesco crepped up whic was supprising.

Anywhome, if anyone wants Diesel prices let me know and ill get them and post back with them in future also.

Had a look at all the major ones and the odd smaller ones..

All at 137.9 for Diesel (I havent looked at Autoport or the one at the Park) - thats Statoil, Tesco, Maxol, Shell (which is now Topaz) and one at Cleaboy.

Sully

Oil dropped again, yet Maxol went up 1c on their petrol & diesel. Nobody else has dropped it. It probably takes time to drop it, but I still find it amusing they rise their prices as soon as there is even talk about higher petrol prices!

Cabaal

Heard on the radio that when oil drops your still looking at approx 4-6 weeks for these prices to update across the board at petrol stations

Read the same on Motors. Still though, have you ever heard the talk on the radio about prices rising and then the stations rise their prices like a shot. Then it takes like 6 weeks to come down in price!

Stokolan

They were talking on the news on beat about some sort of website to be used to track where the cheapest place to buy is. I'm not too sure if there setting it up or were just saying that it should be. be handy to be able to do a quick search to see where to get it from.

mike65

www.irishfuelprices.com/ is kaput sadly, www.pumps.ie is still running.

Anyway.. petrol station at Paddy Bs (Amber):-
Unleaded 127.9
Diesel 137.9

The price of oil has dropped even further, and there the only station dropping the price. Everybody should support them even if it means driving a little bit further. Dont let the others rip you off.

Sully

Topaz.. 125.9
Autoport.. 121.9
Tesco.. 124.9

I think Diesel is 135.9 in most places, it hasnt really changed much. There usually about 10c higher then Petrol.

Sully

Maxol.. 127.9 / 137.9
Station at The Park.. 124.9 / 134.9

beaushalloe
