If you use code car25 you will get more off with campus. In your example it would be €291.99 for 800L.

Ahh no way. Didn’t know that. Just placed a order using the code I had .

Is this tax coming in on 1st of May still? Carbon tax

380 euro for 1000 lt's Sligo.

Surely that can't be matched or go any lower. That price must be based on ur 3000L purchase. I'd be fighting just to get the whole lot for €1k cash... :-) No harm in asking

3000 litres just delivered €900.00 :eek:

I know it's a how long is a piece of string question but do you think it's worth getting 1000 litres now before the carbon tax or would waiting a week or two get even better savings?
Best price I've been quoted is €390.

Its a moot point now Id imagine. The carbon tax applies from friday and between people being aware of that and also the very low prices all the companies are most likely flat out and so you are probably looking at the beginning of the week for a fill.

in saying all that it depends where you're based and maybe the lorry is making a delivery near your place in the next 24 hours.

I'm not desperate for oil just yet, just wondering if it's worth ordering/paying before Friday or will it keep coming down over the next few weeks.

mother in law just order 1000l for 270 - great value there. to be fair i am pretty sure she got some discount as her brother works in the industry and he orders for her but even still. Discount wouldnt be massive!

Great value, put in an order with Flynn's this evening @ €340 for 1000 litres.

It's a tough call, I've ordered 2,000 litres for tomorrow at 37 cent a litre.

Other counties are a lot cheaper but there is a bit of a cartel operating in Kerry from what I can gather. Having said that it would have been 140 euro dearer 5 days ago and I paid 400 euro for 700 litres about 6 weeks ago.

The carbon tax on Friday will add 16 euro per 1,000 litres and there's not a whole lot more room for prices to drop from where we are.

I personally think waiting for a few weeks for another drop that will negate the carbon tax is a gamble and I'm happy enough to get oil at about half price compared to what I paid last year.

In fuel they work off cent per litre as their costs don't change with fuel prices.
7-8 c would be normal, so whilst it's about 25% now and sounds great, it's 10% when the price is €750/1000L

And that covers drivers, delivery cost and office staff along with rent, rates etc etc


Refineries are cutting their margins and that's making prices even lower. No sign of any increase coming, so I wouldn't be rushing. The carbon tax will add less than €20 to a full tank

This makes no sense when talking about a business that's primary cost is in transporting many thousands of tons of product by road on a daily basis.

I built my house in 2016/2017 and I was as smug as anything putting in an Air to Water heat pump pitying the suckers who were going to get fleeced for oil in years to come.

Joke's on me!!!!! (for the time being)

So are you saying that it costs more to deliver oil at 80c per litre than oil at 35c per litre.???

And that other costs including office and administrative and other fixed costs are different depending on the oil prices?

Seriously?

Yes.

Yep, an extra 16 euro per 1,000 litres thanks to the Green party, and that's only this year.

The GP were not in Govt last year.
