    Probably reflected around the country, but I dont remember there ever being a time where there was such a huge difference in prices locally !

    This morning I drove past one place at 145.9 & thankfully found 137.9 ten minutes later :eek:

    Can't believe its just oil prices

    yep diesel....

    cheapest I found was a 'Top' unmanned filling station opposite Harvey Norman - its the industrial estate with the 'Motorway' car parts place on it - you need a credit card but its 137.9 for diesel at the moment, no petrol though.....

    Its probably designed for trucks, but it says cars welcome - I presume Top diesel is as good as anybody elses ?

    A whopping 150.something for petrol if you choose to fuel at Cork Airport.

    My light is on as well, but I plan on free wheeling down the hill after work. Hoping to gather enough coasting momentum to get me to Blackrock.:)

    I saw that the other day and wasn't sure if it was for commercial vehicles only. Glad to know it isn't :D

    They have some pumps for both cars and commercials, cars can use either if but the car only pumps are not suitable for big commercial yokes. Also there is a pump for of red diesel in there too, not that anyone would use that in a vehicle on the road.
