Actually didn't notice the other thread...... DELETE ME

Soz!

_Kaiser_ · 14-10-2008 3:23pm

No you heard right. Petrol up 8c from midnight.

Diesel unaffected though.

Stephen · 14-10-2008 3:24pm

No, you're right. 8c on petrol and nothing on diesel. What a bunch of *****.

_Kaiser_ · 14-10-2008 3:27pm

Gormley still has to announce the details of his Carbon Budget tomorrow though. No doubt there'll be some hike in there too.

:mad:

eringobragh · 14-10-2008 3:41pm

Its rough but I anticipated a 7.5cents anyway and was expecting the Tax as well, The old reliables!! I knew the beers wouldn't be hiot the pubs are dying a death at the ,moment.

Our man in Havana · 14-10-2008 3:41pm

We will need more than a pocket sized one tbh. :mad:

Heathen · 14-10-2008 3:42pm

this should make the buggery a bit softer

Cionád · 14-10-2008 3:44pm

I was expecting a rise in diesel, pleasantly surprised

*chugs away in his tractor*

Guy:Incognito · 14-10-2008 3:47pm

Well Hammertime said there is a 7 or 8c drop due so nothign should change really.

Stark · 14-10-2008 3:58pm

Yikes. I'd like to think it would mean less traffic, but more likely we'll just see more "breakdowns" on the M50 and the like...

Tipsy Mac · 14-10-2008 4:02pm

Perhaps Gormley will add another 2cents carbon levy on petrol to make it an even 10cent, the diesel heads will get the 2cent too.

Tech3 · 14-10-2008 4:05pm

go and top up while ye can :pac:

Spud83 · 14-10-2008 4:06pm

Have I got this right.

There will be an extra 8C per liter on petrol plus the extra .5% VAT?

mumhaabu · 14-10-2008 4:10pm

I already know one guy who has had his tank altered and an extra cap added in the boot so that when he is dipped it will show white but he is running exclusively on Agricultural Diesel, can't say I blame him and if you voted Fianna Fail just simply shut up and take the raping or else just commit suicide as Bertie Ahern said.

My sell off and plans to emigrate take another step forward.

I don't see how you justify using illegal diesel on the basis of a petrol tax increase tbh.

Is that not how stuff works around here? If you are above 70% annoyed by something you don't have to partake.Legality is irrelevant.

efb · 14-10-2008 4:35pm

Legal Diesel didnt go up, I hope he's caught, its a green tax, diesel greener (and dearer) than petrol.

LEIN · 14-10-2008 4:38pm

8c and the price of oil has climbed back above $80! :mad:

-Chris- · 14-10-2008 4:39pm

They should increase the tax on illegal diesel, that could be a real money spinner...

Well he is about as far away from the North as you could be on the Island of Ireland. Fianna Fail have Ireland on its knees and they increased spending instead of mass mutilation on the Public sector and tax cuts across the board. I for one am Emigrating, and I advise all young people to do the same as we will soon be on Potatoes and Milk again thanks to Bertie Ahern and the great Property Pyramid Scheme.

Not really when you consider the cost of discovering it, not to mention that the customs lads (much like ourselves) are getting feck all overtime now.
