Cheaper fuel hits waterford city.

mike65

Tesco opened up thier neww filling station on the Outer Ring Road and its already made a big difference. With all local stations on the Dunmore Rd matching them and even places on the Cork road have followed. The prices are 96 for unleaded and 92 for diesel.

from waterford-today.

A petrol price war is raging in Waterford since Tesco on the Ring Road opened their 24 hour 7 days a week filling station. They are charging 95.9 cent per litre for unleaded petrol and 91.9 cent per litre for Diesel. According to Jenny Daniels they have been doing a very brisk trade since they opened. She also said that shoppers in any of the three Tesco stores in Waterford who spend more than £40 in their Supermarkets would receive a voucher entitling them to another 5 cent per litre off their petrol or diesel.

If I had a car I'm sure I'd be delighted;) But seriously, it is about time a bit of competition was brought in.

Petrol stations in Finglas dropped their prices when the station in Tesco Clearwater opened. They don't match prices but they are within half a cent. This half cent is for convenience - the queues in Tesco are horrible.

First place I saw the "Tesco Phenomenon" in action was in Killarney, the queues there are always chronic.

The first Statoil on the Cork road as you go out of town was only 95.8 cent Tuesday 4cent cheaper than anyone else on that road.Don't know why!. Kilkenny is 8 cent dearer and one place is a €106.9 RipOff.

AdMMM

The voucher you get for 5cent off every litre if you spend over €40 in the store really is great!

We do one big shop every week and now find ourselves only filling once a week, for only 90.9

I passed that Esso on the junction of the Cork Rd and the Tramore Rd over the
weekend and they were still at 99.9 for petrol.. :eek:

Sadly I bet they're not. Ppl won't travel to save it seems. That said if the prices remain lower then the message will get through eventually.

Statoil actually provide the Tesco fuel, so that may be a reason.

Is that only the case for the Waterford filling station?

Haven't a clue, I was told this in Dublin before they came to Waterford, and i saw them the other day refilling in waterford.

The price in Tesco today was 93.9 per litre without the discount, but Top on the Cork Road have done away with their discount card since this week and now have a price of 92.9 per litre

mad-blaa

Excellent-a petrol price war, there is a god!

BadCharlie

Stright across the college on the cork road the price for unleaded is now 92.5c just saw that today.

EKRIUQ

BlaaBoy

mad-blaa

They finally got a <insert technical name for big feckin board with prices on it > put up on the edge of the roundabout there at tesco's on the ring road. It's the only station I've seen between Waterford and Wexford in the last 6 months with petrol less than 90c/l.

Unleaded is now 89.9
Diesel is 88.x

Didn't see the exact diesel price because I was staring at the 89.9 in disbelief.


edit

Just saw the second page with my reply coming up - what's that about a 5c off?

Aquos76

Out in Tesco this evening and its now

Unleaded 88.5c
Diesel 87.9c

So with the voucher you could knock another 5c p/l of those prices.

Also just noticed that the only other garage to drop to this price so far is the Shell garage over in Ferrybank.

The 5c off offer is when you spend €40.00 or more in the supermarket they issue you with a voucher which gives you 5c of the price per ltr of pertrol or diesel

That would be a 'Totem' !

Waterford is probably the cheapest place in the country for petrol thank God. I've got two vehicles, one with a 4.0 and the other a 4.2L, and they drink it.

The two stations just outside New Ross, Texaco and EMO are cheap too.

Conversely, I was in Sligo recently and there are stations there selling juice for 111c per litre! Robbers!

thund3rbird_

top station on cork road past new roundabout has unleaded @ 89.9

mad-blaa

It's down again, 86.9c, I LOVE TESCO!

lomb

at the end of the day tesco are robbing bast$£%. the only reason theyre selling fuel at near cost is to sell u a load of over priced groceries at the same time.
when they do all the competition out of business there prices will rise again.

Aquos76

Its just over 2 months now since Tesco opened, and their price of unleaded has dropped 9cent in that time. One wonders if Tesco had not opened would there have been such a price drop.

Remember those 3 garages on the Dunmore Rd were 103.9 before Tesco opened. The Statoil on the Dunmore Rd was also 86.9 this afternoon. So thats a reduction of 17cent in two months

mike65

Just a bump to say if you're on the roads heading through Kilkenny fill up in Waterford first. I was in and about the other county today and saw prices as high as 1.17 per ltr of unleaded! Even in Kilkenny town places were charging 1.13-1.15.

Shocking when you consider the typical in Waterford City is about 1.03.
