    3-4 cent a litre? Nice.... take that venuzela!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,766 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    I wonder will it come down again later on.
    Does anyone think the kerosene will come down soon? Need to fill up my tank for the winter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,904 ✭✭✭cadaliac


    Have to go to work in the morning, the to dublin in the evening and the light is about to come on in my car :(.
    Well, at least this is good news. Are you fairly sure that it will come down? I know that the current tank(s) of local stock will have to be sold at the original purchase price first, though....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Wonder how long it will stay done for, over €80 in the other day, and only fill her every couple weeks.

    :(

    It's amazing that they don't have to sell it off when the price is going up though.

    Not long at all....It's a joke...

    It will only come down about 2 cent,maybe 3......It will probably take 4-6 weeks for it to happen.

    Then it will go back up by about 8 cent..

    Usual story...Nothing ever changes.

    They'll find a tayto bag on a far-away planet somewhere,,and start fighting over it,and then use that to justify raising the price of fuel again.

    They have all the excuses,,and aren't afraid to use them.

    Off topic but diesel/marked gas oil is much more efficient if your boiler and flue are suitable for it.

    Any reduction is good news.

    Euro's strengthened a fair bit against the dollar in the past week or so, mainly due to the ECB committing to buy an unlimited amount of government bonds.

    Remains to be seen how this will all pan out, but for now it's good news for the European motorist as oil priced in dollars has become proportionately cheaper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,142 ✭✭✭beggars_bush


    green diesel is the way forward

    Why would you brim a car. You are going to use more fuel and blunt your cars performance, You are effectively throwing a keg of guinness in the boot as its the same weight. Makes sense if you are not going to be near a petrol station but i cant see the reasoning if people pass by stations regularly.

    I was making a joke but the difference in weight made by fuel is negligible in a road car. If you decide to take your McClaren F1 car for a spin it might make a bit of difference but not in your average car
