Meant putting this up sooner. passed that msxol on the o brien road at weekend and petrol was 154.9 a litre this is between 10 and 12 cent cheaper then most.

Andrew33 · 31-10-2012 7:51am

That's more like a diesel price? you sure?

racso1975 · 31-10-2012 9:40am

100 percent had to check twice and put 60 odd in the car. even checked it on pumps.ie was that price Sunday and Monday as filled mam and dads cars too

Super-Rush · 31-10-2012 10:02am

Yeah i got fuel there too. The Esso up the road was only a cent dearer.

Petrol was 1.57 and diesel 1.52 in Bunclody as well.

iano.p · 31-10-2012 1:24pm

Maxol is 152.9 now and esso and fitspatricks are 153.9. Lets hope it drops more

Did you catch how much the diesel was racso1975? Same price or less?

Owryan · 31-10-2012 2:46pm

The petrol station out at the dolmen is 152.8 for both petrol and diesel.

Any reason how the price has dropped so much but kilkenny is still in the 1.60's

Still is tonight.
Haven't seen petrol being cheaper than diesel for years.:D

Andrew33 · 31-10-2012 11:36pm

a slightly worrying trend that petrol and diesel are now similar money, how long before diesel becomes the more expensive fuel?

Hailhail1967 · 31-10-2012 11:50pm

diesel should be more expensive its the devils juice.

Diesel is one cent dearer on both stations this evening I believe. That great gas out by the IT was still charging 165.9 today. I got badly stung :-(

Owryan · 01-11-2012 1:03am

Im in kilkenny tonight and prices are still around e1.67. Glad I filled up before I left carlow, 15cent a litre cheaper

racso1975 · 01-11-2012 8:54am

there is nowhere i have seen cheaper then those 2 or even below 1.60

on the diesel there is always less chance of it dropping price during winter due to demand for home heating

Super-Rush · 01-11-2012 10:11am

1.54 for diesel & 1.55 for petrol in Ballon(Texaco)

You'll find they're always a sight more expensive than everyone else.

Hailhail1967 · 01-11-2012 5:41pm

^^^ The reason I went there was that last week i got petrol twice there and it was 3 cent cheaper than most other places, that was obviously not the norm. Lesson learned.

Petrol 152.9 this afternoon at the same place.

You would have to wonder why Carlow and Birr have the most competitive pricing in the country?

Actually according to RTE there is no increase in excise on Petrol and Diesel so should still be the same..

Hailhail1967 · 05-12-2012 4:45pm

No increase in petrol or diesel.

Maxol is 1:51.9

Be well and win · 06-12-2012 8:46am

esso at braun is 149.9 for diesal as well now. I.54.9-1.569 in Dublin so carlow good for something !!

kevin101 · 17-01-2015 11:51am

2 years on - 117.9 cent a litre of diesel in Cobh in Cork - how things have changed - long may it last

Pity their android app is complete muck, if it was usable without forcing you to enable gps then more people might submit prices.

Yeah, it should be easier alright ... or enable GPS, and detect the petrol station you are at there and then and it would be simple to update. The more accurate the info is the better it will be.

AlanS181824 · 19-01-2015 5:49pm

I hope they stay down, love being able to get a full tanks worth for nearly half of what it was a few months ago!

I have often been just passing a station and took a mental note of the price to change it later but the app just doesn't accommodate that sort of update easily...

Anyways back on topic, the longer the prices stay down the better, even heating oil is at a 4.5 year low...

Super-Rush · 20-01-2015 6:53pm

Heating oil is down to 72.9 at my local pump.

Cheap petrol
