    could it be something to do with the cost of transporting the fuel?

    isn't there a fuel pipe that runs from the docks to the airport or something.

    maybe thats got something to do with it.

    Don’t quite understand the point you are attempting to make in relation to the price of fuel for road vehicles in Dublin 15.

    That's jet fuel. Whilst its similar in compound to diesel, I would not be putting it in the car and I reckon DAA would have an issue with car popping onto the runway for a fuel fill up :):)

    I suspect that in certain areas a buffer for a level of driveaway non payers has to be built in.

    if you've a direct line to something then you dont have to hire a truck.

    if you hire a truck you have to spread the cost into your sale price.

    how come you keep questioning me for daring to wonder aloud?

    Dublin 15 is the new southside.
    D15'ers can afford it.

    Just a theory now.

    Perhaps that how the marketing people view it.
    Ironically the cheapest Diesel in Dublin is sold from a tiny little Filling Station, D4 Fuels located in the heart of Ballsbridge on Northnumberland Road.
