Fuel to rise another 3c from Midnight!

billyboy01

I heard on radio news bulletins today that the Oil imports are set to rise the cost of fuel by an extra 3c. So this means Petrol will be on average €1.52 per litre and Diesel about €1.47. Where is this going to end, a country's economy running on empty and now another whack to people ever lowering incomes! Not to mention interest rate rises coming soon and the ESB increasing the cost of Elecky!:rolleyes:

Fuel rises = Food and Goods prices rise!:rolleyes:

You thicks in the Paddy Parliament AKA "The Dail".

Grow a brain and cut the Excise Duties NOW:mad:!

I dunno about that, last Friday the local service station where I usually fill up was €1.449/litre, €1.479 today.

Fuel is going to keep going up. Home heating oil to go up by 10cent next week. What will we do about it? Nothing, as usual!

A few years ago when oil was a bit over $100 a barrel (same as now) we paid €1.19 at the pump. Now it's more like €1.49 if that increase goes through. Guess where the missing €0.30 per liter is going :rolleyes:

(hint: Not to King Abdullah. Not to the likes of Shell / Exxon. Not to the shipper. Not to the refiner. Not to the distributor. Not to the retailer.)

But what can be done about it?

If you reduce duty on fuel, you'll have to increase taxes elsewhere, won't you?

Cut the dole again, cut the petrol prices!

A large proportion of it is due to the declining strength of the euro against the dollar. The rest is carbon taxes though.

If this country is to have any chance of getting through this recession the incoming government has got to do something on fuel prices.

The Euro has gone back up to $1.39 about 10cs in the last couple of months.

My motorcheck fuel card has an increase of around 3c on diesel and petrol from midnight on last week's prices so that's about right.

Cnuts! :mad:

Took me €120 to fill my car on Tuesday!

Yup, but its still down a good bit on 2008 and 2009. We've been getting a double whammy of carbon tax increases and foreign exchange increases.

I like your idea, so you are saying we should drive our way out of the recession?
:-D

€1.51 in Topaz and Texaco stations, since Wednesday in South and West Dublin!

In the UK they are going to reduce duty on fuel by 5p in remote areas.

My question was what will we do about it, I'm not sure many of them check boards to see what the people want.
Cut duty on fuel and cut their own wages would do me fine.:-)

Fuel costs are going up which will mean food prices are going up. Which will mean people will be spending less on everything else.

LOL, well are you looking forward living in a tree or cave and eating grass!:rolleyes:

Lets reverse industrial and economic progress 50-80 years!:rolleyes:

This Carbon Tax is complete and utter b*llocks. My Gas bill had over 20 Euro stamped on pre-VAT as a Carbon Tax initiative. This country is so broken it's beyond belief.

Bullseye1

The Greens want us back in the caves quickly. Actually that's only a pot shot at the Greens. The government in general is responsible for the high duty and vat already paid on fuel. Unforunately I cannot see them doing anything about it. I havent read of any journalist or media person addressing the question to government.

eagerv

Just left Australia yesterday, petrol has reached about 1 Euro/Litre. The present government have said they are going to put a carbon tax on petrol of about 4 cents over the next 3 years! There has been national outrage with opposition parties saying they will not impose the tax. Now it looks as though the present government will not impose the tax either!

Last 100$ a barrel was about 4 years ago. USD/EUR rate was nearly exactly the same it is now. I'll answer my own question then, all of the difference of €0.30 per liter went to the Irish government.

My mistake, I was looking at when prices went to the all time high($137ish a barrel).

Oddly, if you look at pump gasoline prices in the US, they're 30c a gallon higher than they were last time oil was at $100 a barrel(about 10%).

All the info I could find on carbon tax/duty increases suggest that carbon tax has added 15c per litre to petrol, no more than that. Can you point out where the government is getting the the rest from?
