How long until we see €2 a litre and will it push more to EV's faster?

They had to as in the meantime minimum wage, electricity got more expensive, for some commercial premise rents, materials, even to get coffee from supplier got more expensive... So it wasn't an increase just because of VAT rate change, but also due to other cost increases.

A here now, are you speaking on behalf of some lobby group , I'm not sure we're you've been recently but a denial of the obvious is hard to comprehend or indeed respond too so I won't bother anymore .

Your now suggesting consumers lack the educational skills to understand the Pee be taken out of them 😳 I give up but before I do, I can assure you I am well educated

You think you heard Varadkar say 5 weeks?

Clearly that's not the case as prices are rising rapidly all over the world at the moment.

I'm lost, that was essentially panic buying. Why else did you buy all that extra fuel? It's that kind of shite that's not helping prices. Pisses me right off.

I landed back in Warsaw a few hours ago and the price per litre here is an eye opener. Average of 7pln per litre which with the current exchange rate is about 1.5e.

The cheapest petrol station to me had cars backed for ages and people with cannisters filling up. Helps them, but doesn't help the rest.

Calm down there circle k. You'll be ok in the end.

And another thing is people driving too close behind other cars on the open road, braking all the time when the car in front does. I always like to leave a bit of a gap so im not tapping the brakes constantly.

It's only in Europe that fuel prices are high, rest of world has cheap fuel, it's what makes EU so rich, all the fuel duty and vat.

Not true. USaisians are complaining about fuel prices and uploading photos on Facebook. Check your facts first.

It would seem that being a leading world authority on commodity markets does not necessarily translate to an ability to discern sarcasm.

Taxing cars by weight (particularly non -commercial), makes a lot of sense.

A lot of smaller dealer owned sites won’t be able to pass on the cut till they receive next delivery but because of the huge increase of costs from supplier that cut won’t be even noticed. A large high volume site might manage to take a hit but smaller garages would be selling under cost if they did.

It’s not only us customers getting screwed by the likes of circle K but a lot of smaller branded garages are also being screwed by them especially when most suppliers were insisting on multiple deliveries over the last few weeks rather than one large weekly one , only reason for this was so they could raise the cost on each delivery made.
