Petrol/diesel prices

sligono1

Noticing of late fuel prices in sligo hitting highs compared to our neighbouring counties or over to east coast and capital once again sligos seems to have the ability to be one of the most expensive county's in Ireland once again,for example diesel 149.9 in Boyle and he cheapest I see in sligo 153.9

Why is this so???

I used to go to an unbranded petrol station as petrol was up to a few cent per litre cheaper, with a tank bringing a saving of only about a euro.

Now nearly also go to one of branded ones when I can, as even though more expensive, I get an better MPG from the tank.

NOt sure about Sligo, bit I know of other towns in the NW, where petrol stations agreed to match their prices so one did not have an monopoly.

We went to Ennis awhile ago and the further we got from Sligo the cheaper the petrol. Also drove to Dublin and was cheaper around Longford but around the same near Dublin.

Sligo is not the dearest, Galway City is averaging €1.54 - €1.56 a litre. Regardless of the current price, I have always noticed Galway to be at least 2-3 cents a litre dearer than Sligo.

I also notice when in Roscommon at the weekend how much cheaper it is there also.

In Galway city I would expect it to be more, just as in Dublin or any other major city is more expensive.
