    I really hope You are right OP. But I think there is so much hatred for Russia in Ukraine ( justified imho ) I’m not sure I’ll be alive to see peace in the region.

    Since this current turmoil started, I have watched as much as I can about the ongoing conflict, and putin has been after Ukraine for years. It didn’t just start 101 days ago.

    Ok, know it well. I’m only ‘around the corner’ in Newbridge

    I’ll check up the town later but it seems prices are changing on a daily basis which is crazy. I saw in Straffan yesterday ( I think ) €2.199 for petrol - that’s not an Aplegreen though, it’s an Emo.

    Got speaking to a forecourt owner this morning while doing a delivery and he showed me the increased prices he is paying over the last two weeks.

    He should be selling at €2:20 to make 3 cent but currently is taking a loss and selling at 2:10 so actually costing him now to sell fuel . Some garages near to him aren’t as busy so less deliveries so can still sell at lower price because it’s older stock

    I did because she showed me the price increases which he gets before fuel is delivered and why wouldn’t I believe him, most people might not believe this with the cost of fuel so high less turn over in forecourt shops where they actually make money .

    I find it hard to believe that a petrol station is making a loss on fuel, a few crap coffees and chocolate bars is enough to pay staff for the day?

    Nice little windfall for our useless “government”coffers- each time the price rises a nice little % increase in VAT take.

    Course they “can’t do anything” about it as the big bad nasty EU (conveniently) people won’t allow them. Why do we pay these people millions to supposedly run the state again?

    All a petrol station is, is a drive thru convenience store, and an expensive one at that.

    The biggest cost with coffee, is the cup.

    Everything else sold , has probably double the profit of the same item bought elsewhere.


    So yes, the crappy coffee, and everything else in the shop do pay the wages.

    How many petrol stations so you see without a shop... None, only the unmanned stations.. but they don't have staff, who need to be paid by profit made from.......

    So have you started looking at EVs, sorry I mean sh1tboxes yet as you're not going to be waiting long for 3 euro a litre, or was it specifically 3 euro the cut off point?

    Am I right in saying if it hits €2.20 a litre the government will be making back in taxes what they gave away with the excise cut? Given that the drop in duty brought it back to circa €1.80 for a time, and they take circa 50% in tax from petrol so when it hits €2.20 their 'gift' of the excise duty drop is covered from the tax money they will gain per litre.

    You're probably correct.

    If they are prohibited from reducing or removing vat from fuel, they could remove more duty or the carbon tax .

    But they have stated that the carbon tax isn't going anywhere, and they won't remove any more duty.


    We'll have to wait till the budget, which will probably be the second week of October. That's 19 weeks away.

    Was that just for your fill, 7cent a litre loss is not sustainable,, obviously if your first statement was the case they would shut down

    Gala New Ross 1.99 at the pump for diesel

    Gorey M11 Service had 1.97 on the online sign for diesel, dunno if it was that 'cheap' at the pump.

    Paid 204.9/l for regular unleaded earlier (first time ever a fill has cost me more than 100 quid) but there was a station not far away charging 220.7. we have a loyalty card got the second place but the discount is 6c/l so still would have been €5 more for the fill.
