Same today, plus in NewcastleWest Unleaded can be got for 115.4 and 115.9 depending on which station you use. Both stations are after the Tesco store as you drive to NCW from Limerick.

Should be a nice jump in both unleaded and diesel prices after next week's budget.

Unleaded is meant to be getting an extra 5.5 cent per litre added as a carbon tax, and diesel is meant to be getting 6.5 cent per litre added as a carbon tax.

If you're travelling to Kerry, petrol in Newcastlewest at Centra (just past the Courtney Lodge Hotel) is 114.9 today. Forgot to check the diesel, but could be 103?

banjobongo · 07-12-2009 3:17pm

If you top up your car,say 40 litres and petrol goes up about 5 cent..you're gonna save 2 euro

Well if the shower of Wankers in FF have any cop on they will reduce the rate of VAT

and the other shower of W

in the greens put a "carbon tax" on fuel, it might stay at the same price.

In the city, 124.9 for unleaded now passes as cheap. :rolleyes:

The Texaco at Roxborough has this price as do a few on the Dublin road, as well as a number of other stations dotted around the city.

The Topaz in Raheen is still at 129.9 for unleaded, same price that he was the day after the budget.

Generally the cheapest in Limerick are as you head towards Newcastle West.

The filling station on the left a few miles before NCW, and Garveys on the left after the Tesco in NCW are generally about 3 or 4 cent per litre cheaper than town. Handy if you pass that way on a regular basis and get a full tank.

What I find funny is how people complain about the price of petrol/diesel but still go back to the same stations that they complain about over and over.

My attitude is very simple on it, I will go to the station that has the best prices on my route, and take my custom away from the stations that I feel rip me off. If more people did that, then the stations would notice the difference at the tills when the missing fuel buyers are no longer there to buy milk/ciggies/sweets etc., and it might force a few of them to bring their prices down and to compete with the cheaper stations.

Funnily enough some of the most expensive filling stations are the ones that do a roaring trade within their shops, as a lot of people are too dim to buy in the next cheapest station preferring to keep going back to the place they always go to regardless of price.

It's a bit like the way people vote in this country if you think about it.

iora_rua · 27-01-2010 3:18pm

Yes, it's still 121.9 for unleaded in NCW today.

Mc Love · 27-01-2010 6:26pm

Its 127.9 in Raheen in Maxol and Texaco usually copy them.

Chawkes was 124.9 this morning for unleaded

Raiser · 28-01-2010 9:16am

124.9 in Little Brazil yesterday

grenache · 29-01-2010 11:25pm

On my way back to Limerick this evening and noticed that Amber in Charleville was 121.9 for petrol.

LB6 · 01-02-2010 11:17pm

CoDy1 · 02-02-2010 12:30am

correction, it was Campus actually.

phog · 09-03-2010 8:31am

I noticed huge price variations between Corbally (1.26) Thomondgate (1.29) and Clarina (1.24) in recent days.

Is Clarina the cheapest around?

Raiser · 09-03-2010 9:40am

I'd say so - 1.24 was the cheapest until recently in a few places around town seems to be only Clarina holding out....

- At this point I drive their regardless of it being out of my way, just to pass the others, and to support Clarinas prices.....

jonski · 20-03-2010 1:10pm

Did I miss a crisis in the middle east recently or are the petrol stations just taking the piss .

128.9 in the Roxboro texaco station

upwards on that in every other station this side of town

Pretty much the latter, and anyone who heads through Cork or Tipperary will notice that the higher prices are a Limerick City thing.

Unleaded was 124.9 in Cashel last night and a cent less in Clonmel. 124.9 to 127.9 seems to be the average around Cork.

Here in Limerick the cheapest station is 127.9 and the most expensive is always the Topaz beside the regional hospital as that station has been over the 1.30 mark for unleaded since January.

To get a cheaper price in Limerick, one has to go to the county and normally to Newcastle West.

Was something on the radio two weeks ago about a businessman who owned six stations, two in the Nenagh area and two in the Limerick area, and two in Kerry.

All were under the same franchise banner, but the Kerry and Tipperary ones managed to keep the same prices as each other for Petrol and Diesel, whilst his Limerick stations averaged 4 cent a litre more on both fuel types. He tried to argue that it costs more to have the fuel delivered to Limerick, but then the interviewer was quick enough to come out and say that even if it was true, which it is not, that there was a different delivery rate based on distance, then his Nenagh stations should be the most expensive as they were the furthest away from the Cork depot that delivered the fuel.
