Waze doesn't know if you're a passenger or not, I guess it doesn't want you typing while driving but I've never tried updating fuel prices while moving, except walking (which works fine). You can be anywhere within 50 metres of the station.

In terms of fuel prices the government has committed to adding 2c/L every budget for next 10 years, and similar carbon taxes hit gas, and electricity. Rising prices are inevitable.

I switched to an electric car for my 110km round trip commute and I am saving about 80% compared to petrol prices and half price tolls. There are downsides so do your research.

Some people now charge their EV using home solar panels, so no need to purchase the rising electricity, although my Ev only cost 400 per year to fill so I did not bother and car is not home daytime to soak up the rays. Definitely insulating home and working from home to reduce commute is a great way to save. Home heating daytime though can eat any savings. I am moving home to be closer to work to reduce commute to nothing.

why are oil prices sky rocketing now?? - is it because the western economy is opening up after the pandemic?

As said OPEC are trying to raise the price, IIRC Saudi needs about $65 a barrel to break even and more if they want to keep their people from revolting. But the problem is that the more they raise the oil prices the high cost producers in the USA come back in and drive the prices down again.

There's a lot more at play than simple supply and demand.

Oil is(was) bought and sold using the petro dollar. That's the basis of American hegemony. It's slipping away fast. Saudi Arabia and Nigeria both signed bilateral deals with Russia a few days after USA withdrew from Afghanistan. China also has started buying oil from Russia in yuan and roubles, bypassing the dollar.

Adding fuel to the fire is the incessant printing of funny money by Fed, ECB, Bank of England, Bank of Japan. That is what causes price increases, nothing else. Supply issues are minor in comparison.

If you want to stay ahead of rising oil, buy gold (or silver). Gold and oil always track together.

Ps to another user, Middle East oil makes its way to Europe. Unless you are burning American lube oil in your car, or driving electric, you too are complicit in Mr Kashoggi's fate. The USA doesn't take much, if any, oil from the Middle East. They control it to control the petrodollar and protect Europe.

How can we assist in adding new stations and prices in other counties?

Its going to be a long time before you get to Dublin, Isn't it?

Petrol €1.60.9 .......at Go on the Kylemore road.

Possibly an error, or maybe they are getting in on Black Friday.

The station is owned by Cox's who are a big wholesaling and retail business that has been around for years (they also own mount brown emo and cox's wholesale in Newbridge along with stud farms and other businesses).

Oil prices did start falling back a little in the last couple of weeks and falling further today, so at least the general trajectory will be downwards again and sub 1.60 / 1.70 diesel/petrol will probably be seen next week in many stations

No error. Filled up last Monday at 160.9 for petrol. It was busy but I drove straight to a pump. No delay.

TOP on the South Link Rd (cork... where else !!! )

€1.519 Diesel.

€1.619 Petrol.

And if you've a fuel card, you'll get another 4¢ off

Oil prices had the big drop on Friday 26th November from about lunchtime when New York trading opened.

That's just a week ago - not two weeks.

Go was an individual situation that they were using it as a marketing gimmick

Lower prices do seem to be feeding into the market a lot quicker than usual and the coming week looks like it will see big drops.

Going by historical trends of increases and decreases, it would normally have been week of 13th that the big drop occurred.

This type of false information that it is "2 weeks" is what feeds into a false thinking that prices rise quicker than they fall. - Feel free to do a correlation between oil prices and forecourt prices. Both are very freely available.

I stand by what I said.. it has been 10 days/ 2 weeks since this cheaper fuel hit our forecourts... I used GO as an example.

I mean 20,000 litres there is 200 dollars.

I've been trying to update a few Waze stations lately but it won't let me as the prices are up so much since they were last entered that the App says I'm trying to enter inaccurate prices!🤣😂

An iso tank is a shipping container for liquids. Venezuela to Ireland is direct, no different than Ireland to New York.

A shipping container from Venezuela to Ireland is 2k .20,000 liters of diesel is 200 . 2200 plus 0.48 cent a litre tax.

I'm not saying I'd do it, I'm just saying it's not Cocaine, it's diesel, so technically one could do it. Diesel is not illegal to own.

An ISO tank holds 20,000L , tax on diesel is 0.53 cent a liter actually, not 0.48

So 20,000L X 0.53 = 10,600 duty + 2000 for shipping, + 200 for the diesel. = 12,800 for 20,000 liters of diesel.

or is it. I'm just thinking out loud. I just don't see why it would be illegal , and if the figures worked out so much cheaper then why is it not possible.

Ah, that's the thing. '' you can't do that'' Irish love saying that, but does the law say I can't.

The notional cheap price you're quoting is a subsided price for residents, not for exporters.

Venezuela is partially embargoed by the EU

Their oil is reknownedly poor quality and needs to be blended with higher quality oil to be usable. There is no way it would meet EU standards unmodified

It likely isn't B7 either.

Yesterday, in Campus Dunshaughlin

I know some large businesses/quarries have their own diesel tanks or mobile fuel trucks for storage and to get to machines. This may cut the cost a bit as you would be buying in bulk. Home heating oil in a diesel car is illegal, but some people fill car from home heating oil tank, but some burners are kerosene (newer) or gas oil (older). Neither is expected to be good for modern engines, and if stopped you will get a fine around 1000 euro. Customs do spot checks, particularly at farm type events such as the ploughing championship or mart days.
