    Why have petrol prices shot up in County Donegal?

    Driving through the county today, petrol seemed to be 98.9c per litre everywhere while diesel's price varied. This is much higher than Sligo Town where you can still buy petrol for 91.9c per litre.

    Its that price alright in a lot of places although I normally get mine in a wee place called St. Johnston which was 94c/litre I think last week.

    I'm a diesel man so... got some juice in Kilmacrennan earlier and twas 91.9c a litre. Left Dublin last night and the cheapest around was about 96.9 with unleaded up at 100.9 per litre. Last Saturday, I was out in Bunbeg and diesel was 86.9c. Defo the cheapest I've seen it in my driving history!

    There is certainly a substantial difference in the prices and you dont even have to drive too far either to find that. And then you have the petrol retailers claiming that they dont even have 5 cents/litre profit. Who do they think they are kidding?

    Drove up to Derry today.
    Taken aback to see petrol is now over €1 in Laghy, Ballybofey, Letterkenny, then drops a little.
    Other counties to follow?

    They would be priced to counter the prices in Northern Ireland.

    Filled up today in Tinneys in Letterkenny €1, everywhere else was €1.02/1.03.
    Oil prices went up last week after OPEC cut production, but it has since went down to around the $41 mark. I'd say retails and oil companies will want to keep it around the €1 and no lower.
    p.s. BP announced today their profits were up 39% for 2008, cant remember how many billion more.:rolleyes:

    Got petrol yesterday for 102.9 :D.

    Admittedly it was with the 10c/litre discount from Supervalue in Ballybofey which I used at Dunnions filling station.
