I got my invoice from DCI on Wednesday and was billed at standard network rate for a fill at filling station that is listed as a core site in the 2012 directory. I emailed them on Wednesday but there has been no reply yet. Can core sites become network sites during the course of a year?

If you get no reply, then reply to the next price notification email that you get on Tuesday. They should reply to that. That way works for me anyway.

My price from midnight last night is 126.7 as well.

The Dagda

My latest update is 127.7cpl

The_Conductor

Retail has come down 2-3c/litre in the last 10 days- are all your prices going up?

mp3ireland2

Yeah I got 127.7 too which makes it 157.1 inc. VAT still cheaper than some places in Longford (159.9 is quite common around here) though I paid 156.9 at the pump yesterday.

Loads of places doing 150.99/151.99 retail now- they're not killing themselves.
150.99 seems to the standard Applegreen undiscounted price today.

Loads of places? Are you just quoting the stations in your local area. There is 1300 plus stations in Ireland and according to www.pumps.ie which is run by members of the public like me and you, the National Average is 155.9 so I would say Last friday night that they were giving a very good price in fairness. According to that website there is less than 20 stations in Ireland under 150.99

Ok- west from Dublin- is 149.8 TOP Ushers Quay, 149.9 Esso Palmerstown, 149.9 Applegreen Palmerstown, 151.9 in a Texaco garage Lucan-Ballydowd, 150.9 Maxol Celbridge, 151.9 Maxol Lucan, 154.9 Tesco Maynooth, 148.9 Applegreen Enfield, etc etc On the road to Galway- I couldn't actually find a station over 154.9, and actually filled up @ 148.9.........

I'd also like to add- that any station I've seen locally- has dropped its prices by 2-3c a litre, since last Friday (which handily coincides with the massive drop in oil prices, and the surge in the dollar).

Gal2011

Yes these would all be the stations that are the cheapest in Ireland and are in the list of 20 stations on www.pumps.ie as the top 20 cheapest stations in Ireland and i have noticed that Tralee is the other region of Ireland where you get a cheap price for diesel. All the stations will should be decreasing in Ireland over the next week as the price of diesel has fallen but that price on Friday was a v good price. Applegreen are a low cost fuel provider and I wouldn't comment on any brand here but obviously with the price on the card is in all branded stations which are much more expensive at the pump which are mostly still up on the 155 average. The price for diesel in Galway city where I am based in 157.9 today and cheapest in Galway is 154.9. I wish i was located near to one of those stations you mentioned though. Galway seems to be very expensive always.

Saw 157.9 in Roscommon too not sure if it was Topaz or Maxol, place in knockcroghery was around 152 when I was passing. Galway is always expensive was 10c more than roscommon all summer long. I have a friend in Knocknacarra that drives up and down to Cork and he says the same, every station between oranmore and cork city is at least a few cents cheaper than galway city.

Did anyone else with the fuel card get a text from DCI with their price from midnight tonight (@ Core sites) — 119.99c/litre? (down from 126.2 or thereabouts for the last few months — I haven't used my card in ages...)

If it's not a mistake, it's the most substantial drop I've seen since I got the card a year or two ago — and not a bad price, at slightly under 147.5c/litre incl. VAT.

super_freddie

Mine hasn't been above 124 since February 1 and today's text was for 121.7, interesting difference with what peckerhead saw. Wonder are they starting to vary geographically or for business / private users?

super_freddie.

peckerhead

Must be. Mine went up as high as 127.8 around the middle of February (private user, Limerick area) — hence the months of non-use.

TheDriver

how can you tell which are core stations and whats the VAT rate, thinking of getting one

super_freddie

The plot thickens - I'm a private user in the Limerick area too...

They send you out a map that shows core and non-core stations.

super_freddie.

peckerhead

Wow. So we could be buying the same fuel out of the same stations/pumps and paying different prices, for no apparent reason? Might drop them a line... they're free to charge what they want, I suppose, and me to take it or leave it, but it's a bit fishy all right!

@TheDriver: VAT is 23%, so multiply the quoted price by 1.23.

Kristopherus

Bloody hell. I was quoted 122.5cpl:( in an email 10 mins ago.

lau1247

mine is 121.5 from the text from midnight today

yeah interesting how few different people get different rates

TheDriver

just looked at the core listings from a few pages back and noticed that anything near me is TOP or Great Gas and they are usually cheaper anyways. I was hoping for Topaz or Esso or Maxol to be present, pity.

hfallada

My father was getting bills for €1.31 per litre plus vat. Meaning they were charging him more than what he would pay at the pump. But I phoned them up and they reduced the price hugely as they apparently were unaware of diesel prices in Dublin. Plus the more fuel you use the cheaper it gets

paddyp

So haven't used min in ages as it cheaper at the pump, just got a price of 115.1 which makes it 10c cheaper than the local pumps again, it must be the time of year.

alphanumeric

My price from midnight was 118.4 (Private User). Do they vary the price that much from user to user?

How does this compare with a pump price (aka after VAT and whatever else is added into the equation?)

I've been getting diesel at a Tesco special offer price of 141.9 for the past few weeks, but unfortunately its up again- so back to 150.9.........

TheDriver

Tesco Diesel? Thought that was a bad idea to get no matter what the price???

Hi there,

Further to our recent telephone conversation, please find enclosed details of the Diesel Price Guarantee Card.

Additionally you will also receive a Fastfuel card giving you access to the Texaco and Maxol networks giving you unrivalled coverage across the nation.

I'm in the West. Cheapest I've seen it at pumps in my travels in the past few days was 147.9. The VAT-inclusive price with DCI is now 141.57c

He forgot to mention the €1 per month "card protection" charge that they put on my account without my consent.
