    Last summer bottled gas increased from 25 to 30€ a bottle in line with the increase in the cost of oil, how come it is still 30€ today in my local Maxol garage

    Checked in Centra, Togher this evening, 23.50€


    I paid 30€ in Maxol garage down the road (Bandon road, few miles west of the city)
    Name and shame, if they have no problem charging that ive no problem naming where I got it

    30 quid sounds very expensive for gas! It sould be around the 23-25 mark at the moment.

    Why would they decrease their prices if people keep paying?

    wow your comments really don't help in this thread :mad: it's easy to criticise

    if we don't comment on how much things are in our areas then we will never get better prices.
    all the merchants in my area have the same prices so I just presumed that it was just very expensive.

    I just wish that the calor gas would have a rrp on their products
