Cheapest petrol in Kilkenny?

psycho8itch

Anyone got any ideas where the cheapest petrol is around locally? Or noticed the prices starting to drop yet?

Callan petrol station at the top of the town is 119.9 for Unleaded, No idea for diesel

I think I remember hearing (on some radio station that was comparing petrol prices) that the cheapest place in ireland is some petrol station in Callan (if not Callan it was def in kilkenny) don't know if thats place mentioned above though.

They could also be on about Unicol which is along the bypass, both places certainly are not the cheapest in Ireland, since March of this year atleast the Autoport on the Cork Road Waterford has been the cheapest by a long shot.

Its generally 10-3c cheaper then Tesco and the rest

Stephen

There's one in Urlingford that's usually the cheapest. Can't remember what its called.

brettmirl

That's VIVO in Urlingford. According to pumps.ie it's 118.9 there at the moment.

Do they still sell petrol out of the Top depot in the Hebron Industrial Estate?

That used to be the cheapest around.

Stephen

Yeah they do but they only open during office hours.

psycho8itch

Thanks everyone. Thought I'd been getting a good deal at 1.24:( I really should listen when people tell me to shop around!:rolleyes:

Joesephines/Apple and Walshs Amber in Woodsgift generally match them cent for cent, i.e. the Vivo Kavannaghs garage.

Is there any reason why petrol in the more rural areas seem to be 5-6 cent cheaper to those in city.

I expect if any of the city stations dropped their prices to arround the 1.19 mark then the rest would follow suit fairly quickly. There is not a whole lot of competition here and there is not much point in travelling to callan for petrol.

Cause the petrol stations will say they pay higher rent etc
That and because people are lazy and will rather pay the price at there station down the road while there driving around the city then go out to some town or village.

I'd agree traveling 10miles to Callan for cheaper petrol is perhaps extreme but then again I know people who have traveled to Kilkenny to get cheaper petrol over the years.

Threadhead

Yeah, Urlingford is definitely the cheapest I've come across.

Shaneio

Or if you are travelling to Dublin via Athy, there is a centra petrol station just outside Athy on the Dublin side, always ahead of the rest on price

brettmirl

Athy used to be pretty good alright. The King Oil place before the centra one used to keep prices down...but in the last few weeks, I've found the petrol in KK to be cheaper.

Alzar

I paid €1.24/L in Kilkenny. Drove through Carrick-On-Suir on my way to Clonmel (due to D'plowing etc), petrol in Carrick was €1.18/L. Same petrol company.

What a sickener.

brettmirl

Drove through Dublin yesterday en route to KK and the prices between both cities are pretty well matched.

Saw a few touching 130c coming down (via Athy and Comer). Athy is not as competitive as it used to be! Prices in the old Statoil and Shell on the comer road were cheaper than all the petrol stations in Athy.

Luckily for me, the petrol in Ashbourne where I live now is down to 118.9 (at Apple Green and Topaz anyway)!

jiggajt

How much is it in that top depot in Hebron? Is that open to the public. I always thought that was just for commercial use or something?

bennyob

diesel at the esso depot near the army barracks seems to be around 5 cent cheaper than any of the stations.

i havn't passed it in a while so don't know the exact price.

Stephen

It was 124.9 last time I passed it. The Top depot is usually a couple of cents cheaper than the nearby petrol stations, and it is open to the public.

bennyob

the esso depot is open to the public. the missus has a diesel car and goes there all the time for a fill.

mydogjack

lots of taxi's using texaco, blackquarry.must be ok.

Nightwish

I use Blackquarry purely for convenience. Its the cheapest one close by. Its always a cent or two cheaper than Topaz (my local) for petrol.

Stephen

Cheapest I've seen in town at the moment is Black Quarry, at 119.9 for petrol. Both the Topazes on the Comer Rd are charging more, and so is the Esso at Vicar st.

Nightwish

115.9 in Carlow yesterday. They dont have a Tesco petrol station, so why are prices lower there?

Cabaal

Callan is 116.9 for petrol and 119.9 for disel in Great Gas at the top of the town near the water tower, the petrol price is about 3c cheaper then Tesco's in Waterford

kleefarr

Came down through Urlingford yesterday and one at the south end was 114.8 and the other at north end was 114.9.

Stephen

Don't forget to top up tomorrow - in all likelihood they're going to hammer us in the budget.

brettmirl

According to our Overlord of Doom, George Lee, he said it's likely that fuel won't be hit too hard in the budget to try keep inflation under wraps.

He did say that we can all expect a hike in road tax though

Stephen

Ha - 8c/litre extra on petrol, along with a higher VAT rate. Glad I filled up today!

Cabaal

got my last fill at 116.9 today, grr down with price rise

Nightwish

I was in a queue to fill up in texaco this evening. Damn government and their stealth taxes :mad:

Cabaal

its hardly a stealth tax when they announce a 8c increase, anyway local station went up by 4c today...

Cabaal

Great Gas in Callan is 113.9 for Petrol since Friday, cheapest for a good few miles around as far as I've seen

Yeah, that is the cheapest one around, as down the road in Kilkenny the prices are ~ 127.9, so you are saving... almost 10 Euro on a tank fill.

Stephen

Most places in Kilkenny are 119.9 for petrol at the moment.

EKRIUQ

Topaz, Waterford road €1.26:eek:

brettmirl

Jeepers! I'm glad I filled up before I came down to KK...

Paid 111.8 in Topaz in Ashbourne.

domkk

applegreen 111.8 for diesel 113.8 for petrol in urlingford, vivo kavanaghs is only .1c higher

itsonlyme

Esso in Irishtown today is 115.9 for unleaded and 116.9 for diesel...The cheapest in Kilkenny

domkk

here it is folks....who would have thought it....petrol at 100.9 and diesel at 101.9. over here in urlingford

Cabaal

still 106.9 in Callan

brettmirl

Tesco near me is now charging 95.9c...which is a discounted rate once you do your shopping in the main store...but the regular price is 99.9.

Hopefully it's only a matter of time before it drops below €1 everywhere!

Alzar

I'm from Kilkenny but working in Clonmel & I know this is a KK forum, so hopefully not out of order posting this.

I paid 99.7c/L in Clonmel to fill the car today. €58.10 from virtually empty to brimmed. Down from approx €65...nice
102c/L across the road from me in the Topaz, Waterford Road.

Why are do the stations in Kilkenny always seem to be that little bit dearer than surrounding counties?

Stephen

Dunno but I've noticed that Clonmel and Dungarvan are usually much cheaper than here also.

EKRIUQ

€103.9 on the waterford road Topaz pumps now , but Clonmel is always cheaper on the way in you have the Amber, Statoil and the new Vivi petrol stations and then not too far away you have the Tesco pumps

brettmirl

That Amber service station on the KK side of Clonmel has always helped keep the prices down in Clonmel, as it has done in Mitchelstown too.

Does the Tesco in Clonmel sell petrol too?


EDIT - Namesco got there before me!

Alzar

The locals in work say that Tesco is pretty much the same price as Vivo & Amber on the way in to Clonmel.

Who sets the price at the pumps? For example: Is it Topaz who have all the branding at the pumps & around the forecourt or is it Mr Joe Bloggs who is the owner/leasee?

Just wondering.
Al.

Loveless

the Topaz on the Kilkenny side of Athy is 99.8 and the King station on the Kilcullen side of Athy is 99.9 at the moment.

yeah the Shell on Castlecomer road is 103.8. the Maxol on the Carlow road in KK is something like 107.8 at the moment.

itsonlyme
