    Well if it's on the internet it must be true.
    Even more so if it is also on their App

    must have been an error - updated 118.5 & 138.9

    Good news is we can expect more price falls with dollar weakening to $1.15 and oil price falling to $43 (brent).

    Weakening dollar is very beneficial as it changes the euro price of raw oil and also in the cost of refinery process and the chemicals added to make oil into petrol/diesel.

    sub 1.10 diesel in the most competitive stations & average of €1.15 & 1.25 / 1.30 petrol will probably be seen soon + 1000 litres of home heat may go under €500 or very close to that!

    Makes a change from 3 years ago when heating oil was over €1000 for a 1000l fill.

    I haven't seen anything other than 95 for a long time, People only buy the cheapest fuel available.
    If cars could run on rat piss people would buy that.

    I think all unleaded must be at least 5% ethanol.
    Isn't Maxol 98RON?

    Remember one of the lad putting super into his scooter thinking it would make go faster or some such. Thing is most 50cc scooter only need about RON 89. Even my TZR at the time only needed RON91 but 95 was the standard at the pumps.

    There's a tit that puts in deliberately fake data on pumps.ie; site isn't moderated enough for anyone who runs it to notice; this could easily have been that.

    the guy that runs it does it very much in his spare time - imo he could be making a good few quid on it from advertising as it gets a decent number of hits.
