FUEL PRICE WAR AS GARAGE BOSS CUTS PETROL PRICES BY 10C PER LITRE

May 4, 2013

A GARAGE boss has sparked a petrol price war – after slashing his prices by up to 10c per litre.

Mairtin Kelly, owner of Kelly’s Centra at Mountain Top in Letterkenny, has cut the price of diesel to just 145.9c per litre. 

And the cost of petrol has also been slashed – to 154.9c per litre.

Both diesel and petrol prices are amongst the CHEAPEST in the county this weekend – and are the cheapest in Letterkenny.

 They are also 10c per litre cheaper than other forecourts in Letterkenny this weekend.

 Said Mairtin: “We’ve been doing a bit of renovation and we’re nearly there with our new expanded restaurant.

 “I thought I’d get into the holiday weekend spirit and it has certainly gone down very well with customers.”

There were a few "untruths" in this article,

1) they weren't the cheapest in the town,

2) they weren't the cheapest in the county,

3) the price shot up to 1.49 for diesel and 1.59 for petrol on Sunday night the 5th May making them one of the most expensive in the county!!!

It was probably the shortest "Fuel Price War" ever in the history of fuel price wars.

The Esso Station, Ballymahon Road, Athlone is now a Topaz. How can I change that or is that a job for the admin?

From the Irish Times today:

Brent crude held above $107 (€82.94) a barrel this morning, but was still on track for a second straight week of losses, as Cyprus scrambled to raise money to avert a financial meltdown that could disrupt the euro zone's recovery and diminish its oil demand.

Anyone think petrol prices are on the cards to drop - currently the best I can get is 155.9 (Petrol) - can anyone see it dropping lower in the coming days?

Hey all

Was in dundrum...spent about €57.00 on shopping in tesco got a €0.05 cent of voucher for tesco petrol pump...and considering u get 2 hrs free parkin when u spent €30.00 it makes sense...

Its been very boring our there with prices staying about the same for the past couple of months.

However recent events in Algeria could cause a turn upwards in prices, but with talk of triple dip recessions and fiscal cliffs, I'd say prices will continue as they are with a slight tick to upside.

btw - apologies for not updating more often, but the market has been very stagnated and it was a little busy on my end at xmas. 

Does Anyone know which Station in Naas is open 24 hrs

garage in mount brown has reopened from today selling diesel at 149.9 and unleaded at 146.9

As i drove down to my fathers house the other day in carlow i realiased that the price of fuel in carlow is so much cheaper than kilkenny its such a joke how is the price 7 cent cheaper for petrol in carlow than kilkenny shouldn't it be all the same price in the same brand's i'e Texaco, Top etc

The slight downtrend / flat line in prices looks like continuing in the near term along with a weakening dollar of circ 1.30.

Unless there are budget changes, expect petrol prices to drop another cent or 2, but diesel prices to remain as is.   

Murphy's Garage, Lower Glanmire Rd in Cork city are no longer selling diesel. Can be taken down.

Thanks

They've got the builders in and have closed. Can the status be changed? Thanks!

There are many diffrent opinions 

i have spoken to mechanics who say you should be very careful and only buy from branded garages

others say all the petrol comes from the same tanks in Dublin Port

Topaz say you get more miles from there Petrol and some say Texaco is the best?????

Middle East geopolitical concerns are keeping oil prices at the current price levels and there is nothing to suggest any dramatic price movement in either direction over the next couple of weeks.

The weakening of the US dollar last month did stave off the 1.70+ prices that were being predicted and for the next while expect prices to be relatively stable at about 1.68 for unleaded and 1.60 for diesel

Hi,
Is it a legal requirement to display fuel prices outside the station so that they are visible to passing motorists?

I've noticed 3 stations I drove past today didn't have them on display...so am just curious!

Please get rid of update leaderboard as TWITS who want to be top are putting any prices in just to see the're name on the board
