No probs, thanks

I'd be very warey of buying diesel there.....

Oh dear, I've been bombing around the past two months on their diesel... without much fuss I might add, car was performing mpg -wise as expected.

Prices had dropped on my way home:

Petrol 159.9
Diesel 151.9

Most places on the way into Carlow are the same, including the Texaco in Ballon.

Enniscorthy petrol stations are getting no a single cent of my money... if just one of them had the balls to bring their prices in line with some of the better value places their business would probably go up 25-50%.

Typical of Enniscorthy,average price of petrol is 166c per litre,the locals who don't travel much to other parts of the country will always buy fuel locally,however the retailers haven't copped that these people are spending the bare minimum on fuel due to extortionate prices.Drop the prices and more fuel will be bought.You'll see people putting a tenner in at Enniscorthy filling stations but if they are elsewhere and see the price is way cheaper,they'll put €20 or €30 worth of fuel in their cars.

Ballymurn has petrol @ 159.9c per litre.

Gorey seems to be very slow in implementing the full reduction in petrol prices. I was in Dublin yesterday and stations which had been 3 and 4 cents above cheapest Gorey prices are now up to 3 cents below.

I agree. I drove past Adamstown yesterday selling petrol at 166.9 with an almost empty tank and carried on to Bunclody where it is for sale at 159.9. I presume someone must be buying it at the higher price but not me at that price.

I hope you understand that you travelled 22 miles from Adamstown to Bunclody to save €0.07 cent per litre .

If you put €30 into the car in Bunclody , you saved € 1.26 .

If your car is doing 35mpg , it cost you €4.55 to drive this 22 miles .

Plus , its not good for the fuel system to be driving on an almost empty tank

Cantona's Collars · 03-06-2012 8:14pm

160.9 for petrol & 150.9 for diesel in Clonroche.

The bold part is only really true if their route did not already take them via Bunclody. If it in fact did, then it cost them €0.00, and the use of the phrase "carried on" suggests that Bunclody certainly wasn't out of the way. And if they went so far as to fill up in Bunclody, then the extra space in the tank from that theoretically driving saved them more compared to Adamstown!

Also, the price difference is actually €1.31 ( (30/1.599)*1.669 = 31.31), which while similarly minute is no more irrelevant than assuming that Bunclody was completely out of the poster's way!

Similarly , the extra €1.31 received in Bunclody will take the driver 6 miles if the car is doing 35mpg .

This could become relevant if the driver does not reside within a 6 mile radius of Bunclody .

Yeah, ignore the entirely more likely possibility that the poster was driving on a route that took them through Bunclody (or even within a 6 mile radius, if you prefer) too while you're at it.... :rolleyes:

Unless you're trying to claim that there is never any point in a driver buying petrol other than where they are from, or at the start of their journey, I fail to see the point here.

1.609 petrol in Applegreen (Drinagh service station or...?) - past MJ O'Connor Solicitors on the left on the way into town from rosslare, doesn't have Applegreen signage

The Oil Terminal in New Ross is winding down , and Esso and Three Rivers Oil are gone .

Euro Fuels ( The Old Creamery ) seem to be cheapest in the South-East at the moment .

I don't know why though

vicwatson · 12-06-2012 1:29pm

At weekend Roches garage was 159.9 Applegreen 159.8, Applegreen will drop further in next few days I reckon as they are always better price than Roches, prices are for petrol.

Come down a small bit so.

I am pretty sure that Econ Fuels in Bunclody are the same.

bmaxi · 22-06-2012 6:32pm

I heard on the news that petrol prices are due to drop by up to 10c in the next couple of weeks, and on another news station that oil prices are at their lowest since April 2010. Notwithstanding increases in VAT and carbon tax, I don't think petrol prices are only 10c ahead of where they were in 2010 so they should have a bit more to go yet. Watch Noonan having a swipe at this.:mad:

Cantona's Collars · 22-06-2012 10:13pm

Nobody has told Kavanaghs on the Island Road about price drops- 165.9 for petrol today:eek:

Surely retailers are entitled to continue selling their stock at current price , until they get the next fill at the reduced price .

They are always way more expensive than anywhere else.They will have that stock for a long time when they continue to charge extortionate prices.

I'd agree with this but when prices are increasing we are told they have to charge "replacement cost"

Basically what I'm saying is that they are far quicker to increase prices than reduce them yet always have justifications for accelerating increases that don't seem to apply to decrease and reasons to delay decreases that don't seem to apply to increases :rolleyes:

allthedoyles · 23-06-2012 1:35pm

Its nice to see fuel prices coming down , but it is a sign of the economy in general.

If the economy improves , fuel prices will increase as well.

At the moment it is a downward spiral.

Cantona's Collars · 23-06-2012 7:04pm

159.9 for petrol in J. Donohoes Enniscorthy.

uck51js9zml2yt · 23-06-2012 7:44pm

157,9 in rosslare harbour

allthedoyles · 23-06-2012 7:56pm

Just bought 12 litres at Gala New Ross - 159.9 p/litre - best not to buy too much , if its going to come down as predicted .

allthedoyles · 24-06-2012 8:43pm

Just some observations from a spin today regarding unleaded :

Carlow Town - 152.9
Leighlinbridge - 155.9
Bagenalstown - 156.9
New Ross - 159.9

Cantona's Collars · 25-06-2012 11:09pm

156.9 for petrol at the Honda Garage Wexford.

TheChevron · 26-06-2012 9:42am

155.8 at Wexford Service Station, Newtown Road.

Great to see it coming down, but it wont last.

bmaxi · 30-06-2012 12:25pm

Came across a receipt in my car for January of this year when I paid 149.9c/litre for petrol. If oil is at it's lowest price since April 2010, you can get an idea of price history from this chart http://www.nyse.tv/crude-oil-price-history.htm, and there have been no tax increases since, why are we still paying up to 160c/litre? There has to be a rip off somewhere.

Wasn't there additional carbon tax?

That was for home heating oil AFAIK.

allthedoyles · 03-07-2012 10:54pm

Still no sign of the predicted 10c drop in unleaded .

The nearest to it that I can see is Carlow Town 152.9

jpb1974 · 04-07-2012 9:20am

That was for home heating oil AFAIK.

Unfortunatley it is also applies to petrol & diesel.

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2011/1206/breaking31.html

"Carbon tax is applied to a range of domestic and transport fuels and is measured by calculating the weight of carbon dioxide emitted by each fuel."

Bunclody is one of the cheapest places around at the moment. I am pretty sure these are the prices at present -

Econ
152.9 (P) 142.9 (D)

Applegreen
153.9 (P) 143.9 (D)

Texaco (Not 100% certain on this one)
153.9 (P) 143.9 (D)

Yes I know it does but the only increase since January applied to Home heating oil.

I thought you were implying that there have been no additional petrol and diesel taxes since April 2010, but upon re-reading your original post I can now see that you meant no tax increases since Jan 2012.

The last tax increase on petrol and diesel was at midnight on Dec 6th 2011.

allthedoyles · 07-07-2012 9:39pm

Filled up at Applegreen Bunclody today 153.9 unleaded .

Best price New Ross still 156.9

The Euro has dropped in value against the Dollar and crude oil prices have increased slightly but once again, instant effect on prices in an upward direction whereas we never actually achieved the promised level of decrease.

Price of fuel in Co.Wexford..Where's the cheapest/dearest fuel?
