We're being ripped off. The Atlantic rep tried telling me they had delivery costs from Dublin to take into account.
Couldn't account for west of Ireland suppliers also having those costs and being cheaper!

I thought they collect it from foynes or limerick but their tanker is constantly on the go so they can easily make it up in volume and drop price further......

Is there anywhere in Cork that you can go to collect in drums yourself?

Agent_47

Here in Meath supplier's are in Dutch auction, bigger reductions on a 1,000 litres @483 while they silly buggers in reducing the price of 500 litres, @248.
Will order by 14 April as there's a lot more to drop, question is, how low?

Won't go below 440 generally. But oil prices are not moving, so you've nothing to lose by waiting.

The refining, distribution margins and carbon tax and 13.5% vat on that are close to 28c a litre.

The oil itself is currently 14c (16c Inc vat), so you might see 430/440 in some places.

540 now in Kerry. I'll wait a while more

Kellihers just dropped the price for the first time in a fortnight, down from 57c to 54c.

You were right about a cartel.

54c is a great price, is there more in it?

Richard308

It should drop close to
40c a litre in next three weeks. Oil has gone from 70$ to 23$ a barrel

Lots of places doing it around the country for 48c.

6c doesn't sound like much until you remember to multiply it by 1,000.

My fill is about 1050-1100 litres. I bargain at cent/ litre, knowing every half cent is worth over a fiver. 6c/ litre on a 1050 fill is 63 euro.

On holidays year ago I met an Indian/Packstani and he said at the time the Irish were the greatest hagglers/ bargainers similar to themselves

I think we have lost that trait over the last 20 years

I would assume that would be paying the driver in cash rather than card over the phone.

The hassle of dealing in cash warrants a €10 fee

Still 530 for 1000 here in galway city with mor oil.
Top oil did it for 490e,the best deal I could find in Galway city.

Top oil in Killarney quoted me 550

cannco253

In Galway today I was quoted

1,000L 500L
Top EUR 490 260
Corrib EUR 510 260
Sweeney EUR 560 290

bigboss1986

Texoil Galway

1000-500euro
800- 400euro
750- 396euro

Before you could get best price from 1000l now looks like its 800 litres based on online quotes

Seamai

Got 500L delivered from Top Oil earlier this afternoon, (the tank would not take any more), ordered it last week 52c a litre after the €20 promotional offer had been applied. Out of curiosity I had a look at their site today and the price is now 4c a litre more.

wassie

Did a ring around myself today in Galway. Best prices were:

Top Oil
500L - €260

Corrib Oil
1000L - €450

Went with the 1000 - hard to resist.

Zimmerframe

Just as mentioned earlier in the thread, don't use apps or online quotes, RING.

Corrib Oil for 1000 litres diesel fuel.

On the app €630, on the phone €525

bazz26

You cannot haggle with an app.

Which Corrib Oil depot did you ring?

22% jump in oil prices today.

So if you can get €480 or below for 1000 litres, I'd take it.

There's still huge stockpiles of kerosene about as virtually no Aviation taking place (planes use kerosene), so the $23 oil prices may never feed into the supply chain fully.

Dollar has also dropped 3% to $1.08 and that feeds in almost immediately as the refined product is sold in dollars (even if it is refined in Cork!)

Yeah, saw that too, thought it would be a few days before that fed in but one supplier put 245 on for 500 litres so moved on my top up at 235 for 500, 600 litres ordered and no more worries till summer 2021..

Top oil in Donegal charging (phone quote 5min should)

500L = €270

Loads of Dublin suppliers coming in at 470 now for a 1000 litres

Rang around this morning wanted 200L of green as well and it worked as follows

47c/L for Kerosene, about 1000L, and 200L agri at 50c/L. Mid West area. Delivery next Tuesday. Lucky enough there is about 6 that deliver around here. Dearest was 54 and 56c/L respectively. Most at 50+54c/L. Took 20 minutes ringing around. Two on cheapest price.
Difference between cheapest and dearest is 82 euro and on average prices is 34 euro.

That's good pricing for delivery in kerry

Is it predicted that prices will drop or rise into next week. I need to get Gas oil and the price per litre is quite a bit more than kerosene.
