Sligo Fuels

Diesel is currently at 129.9 while unleaded is 123.9.

This is the cheapest it's been for a helluva long time shoppers!
Opens at 7.30 weekdays til 8pm.
Open weekends too.

In case you don't know where it is it's the next left after Connaght Gold at Deepwater Quay.

Mrs.T · 26-08-2008 10:32pm

Thanks! Do they do home heating oil as well?

gino85 · 27-08-2008 8:33am

i paid €1.31 down there last friday, put 50 into the car and only got 3/4 full tank

So it's a good sign that it's down since then.

It has been consistently the cheapest in Sligo for months now.

Hmm. I think so...
There are two numbers against them in the Yellow Pages:
9169552
9160610

I think they're called McPartland or something to that effect.

Yes. They may be under McPartland in the Phone Book.

bobcar61 · 28-08-2008 12:29pm

This is the only place in Sligo that I buy petrol and it will be the only place until this cartel is abolished and other petrol stations lower their prices...have they not heard of competition.

Gillie · 28-08-2008 1:10pm

This problem is not just in Sligo!

Ever seen the prices in Campus in Claregalway?

Or Tuam?

bobcar61 · 28-08-2008 1:14pm

To be honest I have never noticed the prices down there.

Although I have noticed the prices in Claremorris/Ballindine area.With their being a Tesco petrol station in Claremorris,fellow petrol stations have followed in lowering prices

JoeyJJ · 28-08-2008 3:14pm

Another good thing if Tesco get the go ahead for Carrowroe they would probably have tesco petrol would help drive down prices no end. Its handy too you get points on your clubcard.

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 28-08-2008 3:33pm

Tesco petrol FTW. They usually have offere where, if you spend €50 in store you get a few pence of every litre you buy.

Yes, just had a delivery of Kerosene. It cost 83 cents per litre, including VAT.

muffler · 23-09-2008 6:52pm

Any updates in prices here folks. I placed an order earlier today for kerosene - €740 for 1000 litres

Gillie · 23-09-2008 10:05pm

Haven't a clue muffler but here is the number for Sligo Fuels.
They are the cheapest for Unleaded and Diesel so maybe they're cheap when it comes to oil?
0719169552
0719160610

muffler · 23-09-2008 11:40pm

Cheers Gillie. I doubt if they would deliver up to Stranorlar in any event but I have my order booked for delivery tomorrow anyhow.

I was just interested to see how prices here compare to Sligo.

bennyc · 24-09-2008 8:01am

74cent a litre for home heating oil is not too bad at all compared to a few months back.

Gillie · 24-09-2008 9:00am

He's a Donegal Man muffler so you can trust him!

I was down there today getting some petrol (119.9 btw). Their home heating oil is €755 for 1000 litres. Two weeks ago it was €800.

Spongey1975 · 06-10-2008 1:26pm

Which is the cheapest place around Sligo to provide home heating oil?

Also do any of them provide a few weeks credit?

darealtulip · 06-10-2008 6:42pm

at statoil its 73 cents at the moment

bennyc · 14-10-2008 2:32pm

Just got petrol out in Daveys in Calry for 1.17, might be worth filling up this evening in case it jumps overnight.

Jesus Gillie did you see the front page of the Post this morning a few people must have read your post above

There is a picture of a tail back going into Sligo Fuels as far back as the eye can see taken after the budget yesterday.

No didn't see it! Good to see ppl voting with their feet as it were! I'd say there was plenty of ciggy's bought yesterday too.

Heading through Ballymote last nite on way to Gurteen and Unleaded was 121/122 and this morning its 129.9 - more than Diesel!

It's been a long time since Petrol was more expensive than Diesel! Glad I have a Diesel now!

muffler · 15-10-2008 10:05am

Im thinking about changing shortly and now Im not sure what to look for - a diesel or petrol jeep.

bennyc · 15-10-2008 10:17am

in the process too i kinda had my mind made up for a Diesel before yesterday but that seals the deal. With the price of petrol and the low cost of import duty on Diesel its going to send a lot more people over the water or across the border for machines. If I were you Muffler I would be going Diesel and I would say there are a lot of bargains to be got at the moment especially if its a commercial you are after.

JohnThomas09 · 06-11-2009 10:13am

i know this is an old Thread and i hope this doesnt get me an infraction.:p

Just down at Sligo Fuels today and see they have started doing Coal.They look to be doing it in a big way,i seen an artci curtainsider being unloaded.I wonder will they be the cheapest for coal aswel.

Don't know about that!

They were charging €16.50 for a 40KG bag of Polish Doubles last Saturday week when I was down filling my car. I then went to their next door neighbours Connacht Gold and got the same 40KG bag of Polish Doubles for €12.

€13.50 in that petfood place beside Daveys old Toyota garage and the same in Supervalu in Ballisodare!

that is a huge difference.He is probably thinking that while people are filling up with their Diesel/Petrol they will buy coal while there at it and that he will have €4.50 more mark up than Connacht Gold,bad idea.I was in Enniskillen last week and their selling 12.5kg Bags of coal in Blacklion for €6.00 a bag.

sligono1 · 07-11-2009 7:45pm

as i have discovered cheap coal more times than not is just coal bulked up with rubbish stone it dosnt burn that well and your grate will be full of red and white ashy stone in the morning.
i have started buying good quality coal and for the euro or so a bag its wel well worth it.
but as for sligo fuels having good quality coal id very much doubt it why start now with coal when youve had poor quality diesil for years.

I know nothing about the coal business, but plenty about the petrol/diesel business... 'poor quality' diesel is a rubbish, if not sladerous statement ...all the oil companies bring the same fuel in from the same ships that land at Dublin or Galway ports ... the 'brand' is simply a 'label on the bottle' ... the contents are exactly the same....i.e Topaz and Texaco use the same ships, same product....just labelled/branded differently.

Your post was reported as being potentially libellous.

Frankly, I'm not going to delete it because it's simply laughable that sligo fuels would be selling "poor quality diesel"
:rolleyes:

Big_Mac · 09-11-2009 9:59pm

I went online to order some oil today and checked out boilerjuice.ie tbh they weren't the cheapest. got jonesoil.ie for about 10 quid cheaper than them on 1000 litres...

There is a recession on you know.

i have seen an increase in McPartlands Heating Oil but they are still the keenest around for Diesel/Petrol.I cant understand why Jones/LMS Oil don't invest a few pound and put in more pumps in Finisklin,a bit of competition down Finsiklin would do Sligo Fuels no harm.

McCormacks on Mail Coach Road usually match Sligo Fuels on Diesel and Petrol.
Agree with you about Jones's.

Ya Matt Lyons is leasing Mailcoach Road at the moment.Id say he isnt making much profit on his fuel,id say he is just having it cheap so he can attract customers to the Shop.

well once opon a time i used to get my diesel there all the time as they were the cheapst in town but had to spend alot money fixing injectors pump and getting fileings flushed out of my tank the garage that repaired my car informed that it was poor quality diesel that done the damage,the mechanic told me that this is becoming a common problem with washed diesel been the problem so he advised beware where you buy,and there is more than one outlet in the north west dealing in this fuel.

now Culchie i think your a bit niave to say it all comes off the big ship and down to your local petrol station what about the wee tankers that come from south armagh and dont tell me the exist,
now dont go slaping me on the wrists im not pointing the finger at the mentioned fuel depot this is a real proplem in the border counties and for any one to belive that it isnt is only coding themselves

This is completely slanderous,I personally know the lad that runs Sligo Fuels and i know all his lorry drivers.I've been with them at the refineries before and there is nothing illegal about what they do.

They buy the fuel at Dublin/Derry like everyone else.I was often at both of these depots and all the other Distributors in the North West buy from the same depots.They draw it straight from the depot to the docks in Sligo.These guys are drawing 9/10 load a week,they wouldn't have the time to 'wash it'.

Also its interseting to note that Sligo Fuels supply fuel to other Petrol stations all over the country.So the fuel your buying elsewhere may have came from a Sligo Fuels truck.Don't be bitter with Sligo Fuels because you bought a shoddy car.

sligono1 · 13-11-2009 12:50pm

this is my last word on the matter but it was no shoddy car it was a brand new A4 so you cant blame the car

Oh but you already did quite clearly point he finger, even though it looks like you are back tracking now.

To put this into perspective, according to the stats of this thread 2440 people have read this thread.

Even if 10% of people believe what you have said thats 244 people, and if Sligo Fuels have 25% of Sligo market...thats 61 people.

61 people @ 1000 litres = approx €61000 ..... can you see the implications of such a scandalous statement?

If you have proof of wrongdoing, then see a solicitor and seek recourse.... but do not hide behind internet anonimity and discredit a company in this fashion. It's disgraceful.

sligono1 · 14-11-2009 4:50pm

mate im not backtracking and i not going sparing with the like of you culiche your honors seem to lie very close to sligo fuels i dont know you from adam you could be connected to that firm i dont know and dont care.
and yes the legal route has been looked at,and im not going to comment any further on that.
but many people think that theres no such thing as bad fuel well wake up and cop on its all over the place

Xiney · 14-11-2009 5:32pm

caseyjones01 · 28-03-2011 10:32am

some of these old threads make great reading with hindsight. That guy was banned and ridiculed for telling us of his experience with his car. With the reports in local media he was bang on and I think some should not be as quick to ban people

promethius · 28-03-2011 11:44am

I used to go to Sligo Fuels but have switched to Mail Coach Road as of a few months ago.

Interesting alright to dig up an old thread. All fuel definitely not the same i'd agree with that, what goes into the storage tanks is def not what comes out into your car, internal condition of the storage tanks, filters and filter maintainance all contributing.

Buford T Justice · 28-03-2011 12:10pm
