    Hope that there is'nt already a thread devoted to this.

    But just in case.

    I though people could post the cheapest price of petrol/diesel in different petrol stations around the country.

    Interested really in Cork.

    This has already been done to death and there are several Web sites devoted to recording the highest and lowest prices nationwide.
    If the petrol station is local and viable for you to use than you most likely know about it already. Telling someone in Monaghan that it's 2 cent cheaper in Kerry is a bit pointless.

    Then why not post a link to these sites instead of being a [miju woz here]

    The reason i suggested it was for others benefit also. Not just mine.

    And i did state that there was a chance this was already done.

    Again a pointer would suffice.

    Your one of them.:P

    My apologies but there are several and a Google on Cheapest Petrol Ireland gets them easy enough. My personal favourite is Pumps.ie.
    No offence intended so keep your shirt on!

    You should also look at using E85 fuel which is only 0.99 cent per liter even if your car is not a flex fuel car

    I run my non flex fuel suziki swift 98 era with 50% E85 and 50% E5 fuel and so far no problems

    next month i will try 75% E85

    If no problems with E85 at 75% then the next month I will try 100% E85

    I have a thread on the subject where they tell all about thousands of non flex fuel cars running on some or all E85 fuels some with no modifications needed and some with minor modifications

    Cheapest for E5 fuels in Dublin I saw on way to Naas
    It was like 120.9 or 1.21
    Mostly the station you see after you go out from clondakin about five miles out the road
    i was full mostly with 60% E85 and 40% E5 so didn't stop to buy
    I will remember to get my E5 there in future

    Figure I am close to 100% E85 ratio and so far no issues

    Worst case I am E75 ratio

    As most fuels are not exactly correct generaly E5 is actualy E6 or E7 and E85 is probably E86 to E89 ratios I am fairly certain that the fuel ion the tank is at least E80

    In a few weeks I will empty the tank with a long run and only put in E85 to confirm that E85 straight works pefectly

    Only very minor issues is sometimes a minor small bit of uneven surging on accelerating hard in 1st or second gear (one time in twenty times more liklely after sitting a long time at the lights or in heavy traffic )

    This problem could be sorted easily with a mechanic for ~200 euros of work

    For me the simpler solution is to stay on E60% fuel ratios as that returns the best saving some ~10% compared to E5 fuels


    keep you posted

    Thanks defo Maxol harolds cross sounds the cheapest in Dublin for fuel per liter for E5 unleaded petrol

    Monday I saw Topaz in Mulhurdard at 122.9 ( ~123) a liter for E5 unleaded

    Pity I have to go to Sandyford or Sandy mount Maxol to fill half the tank with E85 fuel at 1.00 per liter
    Then I got drive to Harolds cross to fill the other half of the tank in another Maxol for unleaded E5 at ~120 a liter

    Lucky normally I go through Harold cross once a week anyway
