    Galway seems to be the most expensive part of the country to buy fuel in. South east & midlands had the vast majority of the diesel prices between €1.29 & €1.33 per litre this week.

    Was on journey down to Tipperary this week and in general the prices from Limerick down to around Tipp town were I guess an average of 1.36 (cheapest I saw was 1.33, nothing above 1.39). Drive up into Galway and immediately back upto 1.40 to 1.44.
    How can they justify that pricing if not in a cartel.

    I don't begrudge anybody a bargain and I certainly won't criticise people for the choices they make. However, I'll walk before I'll buy fuel from Topaz or Esso filling stations, both owned by Denis O'Brien and having boards stuffed with the likes of Brian Cowen.

    If people believe there is a cartel, make a simple complaint to the investigating body.

    This has been debunked before in Galway by the competition authority.

    However home heating oil has seen cartels successfully prosecuted

    Apple green is very expensive when you get inside though. I guess they have to make their money somewhere.

    if as is expected, the dollar keeps gaining on the Euro then prices will be set for continued rises in the near future. Just like to update everybody on the good news.
