Is it because they operate two tier pricing?, in early morning and late at night it's automatically reduced? A little over two weeks ago at 6.30am I filled up in Palmerstown at 123.8 I think. Went back the other day and it was 130.8 tho app said 125.8. Filled up in Mountbrown for 124.9.

horse7 · 11-08-2019 1:51pm

No, even the Applegreen in Palmerston was cheaper.

KOR101 · 11-08-2019 6:45pm

Still 1.48 for petrol in Kenmare. Hasn't budged in months

Auld Jim Halpin · 20-08-2019 1:00am

I have also noticed errors in Applegreen app in recent weeks also, even though it had the current date the price was way above the actual price.

deezell · 20-08-2019 7:39am

What happens if you present the app to them in the forecourt? It's their app, so constitutes an advertised price.

kmart6 · 20-08-2019 7:59am

Means nothing, especially if the pump and forecourt sign is displaying a different price.

horse7 · 20-08-2019 8:30am

Has anyone posted applegreen on their Facebook about this?

Look up Invitation to treat. The worse you could do is get them for false advertising.

Ye, the Applegreen app isn't reliable anymore, prices don't seem to be getting updated despite the app saying they are.

It was always an anomaly that they would show competitor prices which were lower than theirs. The return of Pumps.ie is anxiously awaited.

Ye, unfortunately now even their own Applegreen station prices are no longer accurate.

horse7 · 21-08-2019 12:07pm

Finally a response from Applegreen
Good Afternoon

Thank you for your Email. Applegreen has no longer a Price Fuel App.

We are currently working on launching a new improved App.

Kind Regards,

Info Team.

Ive bought a domain name for a year, youregreatgas.ie, if anyone wants to help with getting it up and running I'll gladly hand it over.

Im not very tech savvy but if we sort this out ourselves, i reckon things will get back in line .

Also, what i have discovered, is that buying the same amount of fuel at different stations , has resulted in hugely different mileage, and yes i am aware of the difference in driving styles etc, but these were all at about the same speeds and driving.

horse7 · 21-08-2019 5:55pm

You mean different brands produce different mileage results? Can you give us a table of the results?

gussieg · 21-08-2019 6:03pm

bit vague now its been a long day,

while 14 litres got 136 miles ,
10 litres elsewhere was 90 miles
now that i think of it, apparently you get more of a fill if you get it after dark as it becomes more dense the lower the temp

horse7 · 21-08-2019 6:20pm

Is this article relevant https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/premium-diesel-petrol/. or are you saying for example a litre of applexxxxx diesel will go further than a litre of circlexxxx diesel? I understand getting fuel when it's cold weather is better also.

gussieg · 22-08-2019 9:42am

thanks for that , those lads are in a different league to me, with their maseratis and jags, god love them !

deezell · 22-08-2019 9:53am

The additive fuels do produce more Mpg, whither it covers the higher price is hard to determine. I'm more concerned with cheap fuel from spurious looking stations, which definitely produce inferior mpg. Lots of stories about thinning of petrol and diesel with cheap white spirit or similar.

horse7 · 24-08-2019 5:10pm

It's like a cartel out there,all the petrol is 1.48€ a litre

gussieg · 24-08-2019 7:22pm

And I know we all should be driving vehicles that run on solar power or wind energy, but while we are still hogtied to petrol cars due to high cost of alternatives, then why not keep an eye on the prices being charged.

Don't know where you are but it's between €1.40-€1.42 down here in the west for petrol.

mikeecho · 24-08-2019 7:36pm

Fuel prices in Ireland are generally fairly stable.
Go to the UK and see a 12p premium on motorways, here it's only an extra few cent.

And go to Germany, prices vary throughout the day at local stations, and don't go near a petrol station on the autobahn. Massive price swings throughout the day and God help you if you need to fuel to on a bank holiday.

I pulled into one ARAL on the autobahn on my way back to the sixt desk and it was almost 30c more than what I had passed at the start of my journey that day.

I left that ARAL and find an AGIP closer to my destination off the autobahn and filled up there, for 25c,/l cheaper than the ARAL.

The one for thing about Ireland is that fuel prices stay stable, they generally don't bounce up and down for rush hour or b/h weekends.

Most circle K and applegreen in Dublin are 1.43€ for petrol.

gussieg · 24-08-2019 11:23pm

Been driving across from dun Laoghaire, 143.9 applegreen booterstown, 139.8 circle k kilmainham,
140 to 142 around palmerstown. That's just petrol didn't take note of diesel.

calps · 26-08-2019 1:31pm

Has anyone been near Mount Brown recently, or the Circle K near Kilmainham? And if so, did you happen to note the price of diesel?

Eagerly awaiting the app btw, fair play to you.

Not only that it feels like a new floor has been set. I doubt we will be seeing a return to anything below 1.40 and if it does it will only be for a short time

Lord Nikon · 26-08-2019 2:47pm

I own the domain www.fuelpump.ie if you wish to use it.

Lord Nikon · 26-08-2019 3:54pm

Diesel in D4Fuels is currently 125c a litre. Nowhere cheaper than that in Dublin at the moment.
