    Has the pumps at the Texaco garage on the North Ring Road stopped all together?

    Dunno. Price board hasn't been on in weeks and it looked like it was shuttered up recently, but have seen cars on the forecourt. Shop looks like it's open.

    Edit: Was definitely shuttered up earlier this evening.

    So I guessed right. It was 2011! I know someone had a table up here before which went back over the last few years. Don't know where it is now.

    Yeah, so 2011 was pretty consistent with the current average, taking the current one to be around 1.48/1.49. The high point in that period was Sept 2012 when it was up at a very pricey 1.70. So I suppose we can't complain too much at the moment.

    My local Tesco in Mayo has fuel at 152.9
    It was154.9 for months then in October it went to 153.9 and now it's at the figure above.

    I think there is a reason why Tesco have that price so high. I just received a 10 cent voucher off my next fill up due to shopping at Tesco!

    You must be driving a big tank to cost that much for a fill.

    Why are these prices still up the 130 140 mark. I remember when the oil prices were as low as they were and we were paying less than 1.20 and lower. Is this the effect of the increased taxes over the years?

    Diesel 138.9 in esso tallaght n81 btw
    Petrol 1.47 as of last night

    Carbon taxes
    Extra duty in the various budgets
    Vat is now 23%, (during the boom it was 20%)
    Dollar v Euro exchange rate

    All that, and retailers know that it's a product that we need

    I remember thinking that Tesco would provide some genuine competition in Ireland for fuel, what a joke.
    Should have remembered that genuine competition doesn't exist here.
    Well, at least Tesco is finding out that cute hoor tactics don't work anymore in Ireland.

    As an expat visiting home, the cost of petrol astounds me, i usually pay about a tenner to fill up the tank of a Hummer :):)

    But what i can't understand is that when oil was $150 a barrel, fuel here was 1.15E, now oil is circa $80, but the cost is 1.50E. Is this really due to fluctuations in the $/E rate?

    Biggest difference is extra taxes. About 25c added in tax

    It's an old Irish tradition called ripping each other off.
    The logic is that if everything is at least 20% more here, we're all 20% better off.

    It is expensive but it'd be closer to the average international price compared to the US. The US is exceptionally cheap, bettered only by some oil rich States in the middle east (calculated guess).

    Also, despite what many people will say, the "need" for a large powerful car is less in a wee Island like ours compared to the vastness that is North America and everything that goes with it. You'd have a hard time driving a Hummer around Dublin or Cork and parking it etc. It just wouldn't be practical. In the States it would look right at home (I presume that's where you're based :))
