    You'll always have a money loving John willing to drive his van anywhere for a few quid.

    It's more an issue of picking your time to buy your fuel.

    However, your post reads as if pushing people towards mad stockpiling, which is very damaging imo. The stock piling madness is completely excessive considering that 0.00000068% of the population has been infected.

    It's utter madness, the behaviour I've seen in supermarkets over the last week has been disgraceful, and if you are apart of this, shame on you.

    If you cannot relate to reality and are particularly worried about this outbreak, at least try to remember, if this gets worse, products such as hand sanitizer, soap and everyday essentials are much more important to vulnerable and elderly people, than those <50+ with no health issues.

    It is 159. It's a while since I was involved on a regular basis.

    And it's the brent price we work on in Europe and it is about $36

    If it stays at $36 ish, petrol should be under €1.30 on average with plenty of places close to €1.25
    Diesel 10c or so less.

    How soon?

    I'm guessing 2 weeks or a little shorter. I'm hoping my own oil will last that long :)

    On the Merc, have you ever scanned it to see when ( at what mileage) it last performed a regen?

    Never did as it's easy to hear when a regen happens. It's a camper van and the first time I spotted the whistling I was sure I had developed a major boost leak and only copped on the true cause later on.

    My wife thinks I'm strange when I ask her to listen the "different" noises.

    Home heating oil Kero has dropped about 15% in a month or so.

    Petrol near me has dropped from 1.459 to 1.379.
    Diesel down from 1.339 to 128.9.

    Where is this?

    Applegreen's on the way to the M1 this morning had dropped by 10c overnight.

    Circle K at Citynorth hadn't dropped, but it was fairly early - usually they are around the same price as the Applegreen's to compete.

    That and schools/offices closing will force retailers to play ball and pass on cuts

    There is no reduction in supply but demand is plummeting, Hence oil prices hitting the floor

    Supply has increased fairly dramatically as Saudi Arabia have increased production from 10m barrels a day to 13m. Coupled with plummeting demand I'd say we will see hefty price drops at the pumps.

    Of course Saudi Arabia could cut off supply just as quick if it suits them to do so in the coming weeks.

    A pity the home heating oil companies are dragging their heels with price reductions.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    Only ten minutes or so down the road in Enniscorthy,they are dragging their heels in dropping prices. Applegreen is currently 122.9 for diesel but the others around the town are between 126.9 and 129.9 per litre.
    In Castlebridge it's 115.9 for diesel.

    Not in Meath/Westmeath, I was ringing my usual suppliers and asking them the question and all I got was we set prices according to the market. The market is on the floor, Brent crude is $28.87 right now. The Dollar is fairly static so no reason for the slow reduction in price. They could all deliver me Kerosene at the inflated price so supply is not an issue.
