Re: Petrol Prices 2009/2014 - post updates here
Applegreen (M2) down 1p yesterday to 114.8 which makes it cheapest at the minute as far as I know. Heading down south tomorrow for the weekend. Do I fill up at Tesco (Knocknagoney) tonight & use my 6p off a litre voucher or do I fill up down south and if so where and when? Anyone passed the Applegreens on the way to Dublin recently? Discuss asap.

Well that didn't last long. Less than a week in fact. Applegreen (M2) back up 1p to 115.8 this morning
Thank goodness I have earned 10p off a litre in Tesco.

Applegreen (M2) still sitting at 115.8 (and Tescos, K'nagoney 114.9) despite Brent Crude hovering for a good while around $56, the lowest it has been since March 2015. Why no price drop? Discuss asap.
On more positive note for folks heading into Donegal its a quite reasonable 103.9 (Sterling) at the Esso/Eurospar (which also has a hole in the wall machine inside) on the main N13 beside Newtowncunningham.

Aye, good question, since getting home at the weekend I've noticed almost no difference between petrol & diesel, some with petrol a little cheaper, one or two with diesel cheaper.BR wrote:Why is derv cheaper than unleaded?
What's happening, not long ago I was paying 6/7p more for diesel?

Re: Petrol Prices 2009/2015 - post updates here
Simple, there is an imbalance in the supply chain, the Saudi's have too much diesel at present and the proportion of sales of petrol and diesel have changed due to more petrol cars and less diesel because the mpg figures for petrol have improved to the extent that diesel cars extra cost was hard to justify in mpg.BaggyTrousers wrote:Aye, good question, since getting home at the weekend I've noticed almost no difference between petrol & diesel, some with petrol a little cheaper, one or two with diesel cheaper.BR wrote:Why is derv cheaper than unleaded?

Diesel will get even cheaper compared to petrol for a while yet, now what will really annoy diesel users is that you have been ripped off for the past 2 or 3 months as wholesale price was down but not passed on to customers, the way red diesel has fallen in price there is another 3 or 4 pence at least to drop in the clear stuff.

This is a petrol heads thread and is NOT a "Where can I fill my car up near the border with dodgy cheap red diesel/derv in 2015" thread so stick to the topic please folks.

Fuel parity at Tesco Springhill, 113.9.
Sitting happily half fuel saying, you can do better than that lads.

Re: Petrol Prices 2009/2015 - post updates here
Tesco (Petrol & Diesel) @ Knocknagoney both a ridiculous 115.9 today. So tomorrow we will top up en route again to Donegal at the cheaper Applegreen (M2). a mere 115.8 and I will also have my first ever Greggs pastie

Why don't you push the car to Donegal and fill it up for less there ?HwoodMike2umate wrote:Tesco (Petrol & Diesel) @ Knocknagoney both a ridiculous 115.9 today.

Brent Crude briefly below $50 a barrel - last that low back in January 2015. Useful link - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/mark ... traday.stm

Buggar. Filled up @ Sainsburys on Tuesday (albeit with a 12p off a litre voucher) only to find petrol dropped at most garages by 2p yesterday.
Re: Petrol Prices 2009/2015 - post updates here
Below £1 if you head across border and Diesel now 88p
