Point taken vicwatson. There have been lots of little detours since you last made a contribution to this thread on June 12th. It happens naturally on all threads/discussions and is still relevant to the price of fuel in Wexford imo

Chillax !

I have family home from Germany at the moment and they can't get over the price of fuel in Ireland now. Last time they were home (Oct 2011) German prices were 8/10c more expensive, now petrol, even with the recent reductions is much the same and diesel prices in Germany are actually3/4c cheaper. Are the Germans buying cheaper oil? somehow I doubt it. Price of petrol in Courtown today is 171.9 :eek:

Courtown 172

Applegreen Wexford 155.8:eek:

Something wrong somewhere

Anyways , looks like we have a new brand name in town tonight - Gala Waterford Road New Ross is now Campus .-

That's a busy station !!!

Perhaps things have changed now but Maxol, formerly McMullin Bros/Mex was originally started in 1914. The were the only wholly Irish owned and were a 32 country company. There are loads of Irish owned distributors, Maxol were/are importers.

Campus Oil is the leading independent supplier in the oil industry in Ireland of petroleum products since 1978. It was the first Irish owned oil company to achieve both the ISO 9002 and Q-Mark which guarantees the highest standards of Quality & Excellence and superior assurance in production, installation and servicing of fuel oil

Things have certainly changed since 1914

Things have changed since 1978 too lol.
You could be right about the oil companies, I don't keep in the loop anymore. Since I left the business I'm only concerned with what I put in my own tank and how much it costs me

Maxol Bellefield Petrol 161.9 Diesel 150.9

Kavanagh's cheaper than all but one... a miracle, a miracle I say.

A more likely story is that they're all gone on holiday, nobody has bother to change the signs and very few people care because close to nobody goes there.

Once again the retailers are been slated for high fuel costs .- there are others to note as well , like the Government and wholesalers .

So brilliant Tesco will give you 5c off if you spend €50 and 10c off ,if you spend €100 .
Do you think think is a good deal for the consumer, or Tesco ?

Who's laughing all the way to the bank !

Maxol in Enniscorthy have stuck another cent on the price of petrol today, 162.9 a litre now.

Unfortunately the Euro is weakening against the dollar and other currencies.

Everything, including fuels, will get more expensive.

We would spend €100 in Tesco whether or which, my tank hold 60 litres which is about €100 worth, so I save €10. Tesco petrol is the same price as Applegreen where I go, so I reckon that makes me €10 better off.

The problem here is that certain retailers are jumping the gun & increasing costs already,it's just greed with some of them.

148.9 for diesel in Wexford Fuels on the Old Dublin Road beside Kilcannon Garden Centre.

I think your situation is more the exception rather than the rule .

Any family spending less than 50% of their weekly shopping in an outlet other than Aldi / Lidl are only fooling themselves in present climate .

Tesco will have a checklist of their most purchased items and will no doubt re-coup the 10c p/litre ( your clubcard tells them )

We actually gave up buying Tesco petrol for reasons other than the price .

We would also shop in Lidl/Aldi, in fact my wife would sometimes visit five supermarkets on a shopping trip. You seem to have issues with Tesco, that's your business but the way I see it I would have spent the 100 euro in Tesco anyway and if they're happy to give me 10c a litre off petrol for doing what I would have done anyway, I'm happy to take it.
The loyalty card is not exclusive to Tesco, so you could make the same point about other retailers or e-bay or Amazon for that matter.

It isn't. Tesco have 28.7% market share of the grocery trade ( the biggest) and growing, Aldi and Lidl combined have 12.2% and growing, especially Aldi. I would say you will have plenty of people making use of this petrol offer from Tesco .

The price of fuel has gone up by 4c a litre in most stations in Enniscorthy.

163.9 @ Top, Island Road

162.9 @ Old Dublin Road

Still 159.9 @ Donohoes,Hempfield- get it there before the price rise

Everyone involved in the motor trade in this country are thieves, and are the wealthiest people in the country too. Mechanics, garages, dealers, petrol stations, and the tyre guys. The whole lot of them are thieving scum. Everything is priced excessively, and then the goverment jump on the bandwagon and tax everything excessively too. It's no wonder oil is the new gold. The profit they make is staggering.

I'm sick and tired of all this carry on. The roads are s*it, and yet look at the cost to tax a car? The money isn't been pumped into the roads. Motorways were built fair enough, but I think the goverment got all that money from Europe. Motorist's are being taken to the cleaners.

Then more thieving with this pile of crap called the NCT at a cost of €55 euro. In my opinion the NCT should be covered when you tax the car, I mean it's disgracful what has to be done to keep a car on the road.

159.9 on the Island Rd today so I think average of 163.9 might be a bit of an exaggeration. Diesel coming down nearly a cent and unleaded nearly 2c over the weekend, might get passed on by the forecourts early next week....hopefully !
