    98.9 in both Texaco (Kylemore Road) and the Maxol station at the top of Constitution Hill this morning.

    Usually the Maxol in Harolds Cross is very good as well but haven't passed by there lately


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭nogoodnamesleft


    Kelloil in Tralee (the one near the Hospital) was 94.9 for Diesel and 97.9 for Petrol. Think another station on the same road has the same price for fuel.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    Texaco on the old N2 (ashbourne road) is usually pretty cheap. Its 98. something now.
    I also have noticed that most are either leaving it at 99.9 or else even worse, increasing it to 101.9 and back to 99.9 every few days.

    True but those prices are out of date where as this thread is giving todays price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 68,998 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    How about rather than giving todays prices here, you update the site thats specifically designed for the purpose?

    To be fair the UNL cost price has stabilised in the past 2 weeks so no one has the leeway to really move down past the 99.9c mark, there is a 2.6c drop looking like its going to come through on Friday so I'd expect UNL to have a 97.9c price point to be fairly widespread over the weekend/early next week.

    As for the increasing and decreasing the price you'll find thats only being done on Derv, the cost prices on Derv are a bit crazy at the minute, jumping up and down one or two cents every day or so. A lot of sites are made to change their prices on fixed days the most common would be every Tues & Fri, so a site might reduce to 99.9 on tuesday in line with the price drop, but come friday they have to put it up again due to price spike on the day.

    Again Derv should come down to 99.9 accross the board by early next week also.

    Hope that helps.

    I think the point was (mine and others) that it should be lower than it currently is but they have kept it artificiality high.

    A few months back, Oil was near $150 a barrel and petrol was about the €1.30 mark. It is now something like $45 a barrel which is about $100 cheaper and yet we are still paying €1/litre (99.9c). How can we only be paying 30c less when oil prices are at their lowest in years and the price is about what it was in 2002 or so.

    Not true I'm afraid, the barrel in June 2004 was the same price as the barrel is now. The average pump price in June 2004 was 100.9 Unleaded and 91.9 Derv.

    And thats without the 8c tax put on the UNL by the government. So take that off the price at the pump today and your left with a price of 91.9c UNL and about 100.9 Derv at the pumps today.

    So fuel is EXACTLY the same price today as it was last time the barrell was this price over 4 years ago. Factor in inflation and huge rising operational costs and in fact fuel is being sold cheaper today than it was 4 years ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,978 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Not this again! The price is correct in historical terms, that is to say 4 years ago when oil was about 40 bucks we were paying about a euro.

    edit Hammertime beat me to it.

    I heard that Tesco petrol is inferior to pertrol purchased in other station like Esso etc. Is this true?

    Oh its even less now? Well then, there goes my conspiracy theory :D Unless of course it was artificially high in 2004 also :D then i can have my conspiracy.

    Oh and no billyhead the fuel at tesco is the same as others. It gets delivered by Statoil. Not sure if thats the case still since statoil are gone but it certainly was until Topaz bought everything with a petrol pump.
