    What happened there? I remember once seeing that at 1.80 a litre. Now its (albeit a couple of cent) cheaper per litre than anywhere else. Not giving out but why did it change so hugely?

    Its been the cheapest or near the cheapest for a few yrs now, certainly in the 3 ive been in dublin. City centre location + high customer turnover = smaller fuel margins + lower prices.

    Womt touch it now it's a t*paz though

    Why? All fuel comes from same refineries no matter what fuel brand you buy.

    Unless you have an issue with the Canadian owners Couche Tard who are one of the largest fuel retailers in the world. And that would just be pettiness.

    So it's safe to use as it's under new management then?
    I wouldn't want a repeat of this...

    Twice. New management now I believe.

    It's been the cheapest a long time now. I drive by it every day.
    The garage on Amiens Street used to be the lowest, but he is usually 2c/L more than Ushers Quay now a days.
