    Just read a post from a petrol station owner (different thread) where he says a wholesale price drop due tonight will effectively cancel out the 8c rise. The bottom line he says, is if a petrol station has jacked the prices up today, avoid filling up there and never use them again. Which means I need to find a new petrol station :D

    I am sick to the gills of listening about a couple of cents on a litre of gas or 50 on a box of fags,

    with college reg fees going to €1500 (next year hopefully I will have 3 attending college)

    health insurance is bound to get a big jump cos of the hse increases , also income levy

    the 1/2% on vat will indirectly affect everybody

    4% on car tax

    I reckon yesterday's budget cost me roughly €7K p.a.

    maybe more in the small print i havn't read yet.

    just means I will hold on to my 01 primera instead of spending approx €15k on a more modern car, was thinking of changing but decided to hold off to see what transfired

    BTW I reckon this is only the start wouldn.t be surprised if we have a 'mini' budget next march/april especially with the large numbers expected to join the dole queues in the next 18 months or so.

    But would a wholesale price not just effect the price in the future? As in, the fuel in the tanks at the stations, weren't bought at this cheaper wholesale price so we'd be waiting a while to see it?

    That's true, but the fuel in the tanks was also bought at a lower rate of excise duty. So as hammertime said any petrol station increasing their prices drastically is profiteering

    Ahw :( I thought it was the wholesale price of oil that was cut, which is then made into diesel/petrol, meaning a cut for both, no? Or maybe I'm just confused :o

    No mate the wholesale prices comes through for each product individually, Derv, UNL, Kero etc etc

    If its any consolation I'm dropping the price of my petrol to 115.9 on Friday

    1.19 a litre today????? My local petrol station was charging 122.9 yesterday, today its 131.9!! However, he will be hearing in no uncertain terms later on what a money grabbing greedy bastard he is.

    Who do you send complaints about overpriced stations to as I'd really like to see this guy nailed to a cross??

    He won't be able to hear you as he's counting his extra cash.

    The petrol at my local station went up by 8 cent today. Can someone confirm that the excise was applied at the wholesale level and not at the pump? Otherwise it would be fair that the price goes up til a new tanker comes in surely.

    It's gone up everywhere around here, so i don't think any complaining will get you very far.

    I'd like to know though if the excise is applied at wholesale level (so is already paid for). Or that it must be applied at the point of sale. At least that way I know if I'm being gouged. :D

    Past half a dozen stations this morning and they hadn't changed there prices, they did however have them changed on the way home today.Wasn't really a need to rush out lastnight as many did. They were at 1.24 in most garages i past today thats not really any worse than it was a couple of months ago.

    not sure about that mate, I just know I'm dropping it on Friday to about 118.9 to incorporate the price drop, I've no idea yet if any increases or decreases are in the pipeline after this one.
