However if you have been driving on normal fuel for a few months then you have to get the engine computer wiped so the car knows it can burn better fuel. Or so a racing person told me.
Heard similar (tho not the engine wipe) before. They often say that about the different types of petrol stations sell.
I always fill up at autoport. Not only is it cheaper but it's always better to give the cash to the small guys.
I cant for two reasons;
1) I use a statoil card to pay for petrol, which is used in Shell/Statoil/Topaz stations. Cant use it anywhere else and I get petrol cheaper then advertised (Its not the one a lot of people use, iv a different deal)
2) Even if I was to pay cash now and again, its closed when I go to fill up
Anyway, back on topic, top petrol station out the cork road is 122.9 / 128.9.0 -

Expect 9c to be added to all of the above prices for unleaded from midnight tonight.
It would be 8c, but it shouldnt apply from tonight. It applies from the next purchase of fuel from the wholesaler. On that note, technically our fuel price is expected to drop down further on the next purchase but with the new tax its expected petrol prices will remain as they currently are (without the tax, petrol would be trading a lot cheaper).

9c was the reported figure on the news bulletins throughout yesterday evening and they were all reporting that it would come into effect on the forecourts from midnight tonight. I take your point about the price not changing until the next fuel refill by the garage, but that rarely happens. See in essence, the increase is on the duty charged by the government not and increase by the wholesalers. So the garages would actually be charged it from today regardless. The same system would apply with cigarettes0 -

From an explanation from a person running a petrol station, and others in the business, they say differently about the petrol rising so I don't know for sure not being in the business myself :S Have a gawk at this post from a chap on the Motors forum who runs a petrol station.
I thought the exact same as you until others told me they have to sell the petrol at the current rate, then when buying again they need to up the price but it cancels out anyway. Tis horribly confusing but so far petrol prices haven't risen since the midnight water shed
Petrol is 8c.

The mineral oil tax on petrol will be increased by 8 cent per litre (including VAT) with effect from midnight on 14 October 2008.
This measure is estimated to yield €22 million in 2008, and €166 million in 2009.0 -

Ill be heading into town later and will double check prices, I know reports are out up the country some have risen their prices not sure if its going to happen down here (since we have more franchises rather then private retailers). Its funny, people have been calling for less tax on petrol and our wonderful government add 8c
