It's called supply and demand. People want fuel, OPEC have limited production to increase profits.

people in ireland ,they sit in the pub and moan and moan and say ohh yeah its a rip off. and hand over the asking prices.#
there should be a better guide line or price structure on these nessarry things we have to get every day.dont you agree?

landser

we still have one of the cheapest prices for fuel in the EU. Everyone is paranoid in this country about being ripped off (usually correctly) in this intstance, there's no rip off.

Yeah a mate of mine from germany was telling me, that over there they have to pay at least €1.26 per litre of Unleaded. Suddenly Rip Off Ireland didn't seem so bad.

this should be the same as in the fact is we need it.
all of europe in genrel should be almost the same.
we pay road tax on roads that are not the greatest.
