    I used to always go for the cheapest diesel option but I had some problems with a few fills from one place in particular. Terrible fuel economy, engine struggling when you put the foot down. Since then I just use Texaco(by the Mercy) or Topaz. I'm getting an extra 150KM a tank

    What are you driving Zeppe? What sort of MPG does your engine offer you?

    Hi, I'm driving an old 96 Corolla 2L diesel. I havent really worked out the MPG but I'm getting 800KM for a fill of €60(ish) from Texaco. 330'00KM, going great and still on the original clutch, legend of a car:D

    Hi, the cheapest Diesel is Euro Fuels, just outside Waterford on the way to Rosslare - I travel for work and am in the SE most weeks and they are the cheapest by far

    Not in recent weeks they haven't been. There is no petrol station that I have saw in or around Waterford that is cheaper "by far". There all about a cent or two different.

    Tramore has always remained a good bit cheaper but its risen by about 4 cent to 156.9 in the past week.

    Funnily enough, the other two garages in Tramore have been cheaper than Tesco in recent weeks!

    How are those two garages in Tramore keeping their prices so low? My theory were firstly that it must be too good to be true and be dodgy - but the prices are at rock bottom for months now, and they both seem to be very busy. Surely if people weren't happy with the quality of fuel we'd have heard by now.

    I went to maxol on cork road and got it for 164.9 (even though it was advertised at 166.9 the pump said otherwise ):D

    Well the two out in Tramore are among the cheapest in the country at the moment. 153.9 for diesel and 159.9 for petrol. Worth a spin out for a walk on the beach, and fill up on the way home.

    Regularly use it for short and long distances. Never had an issue. They have invested a lot in the premises now with a new building and new exterior. Also opening till midnight from now on.

    I personally think there's a cartel going on between Tesco and Topaz in the city regarding the pricing of petrol.
