Petrol 202 Diesel 194 .And for the EV drivers possible Electricity Blackouts .Government might want powercuts to keep ESB bills under control .See ESB are already changing the street light bulbs to LCDs they say they are cheaper to run and service .Merkel really made Cunts out of Europe .Closing down Coal and Nuclear Power Stations and depending on Gas to Generate Electricity .Our Cunts Closing Peat Stations and not having anything to replace them .

These threads are weird but I wonder at what price the government will step in and reduce fuel duty in the event of a prolonged conflict.
Back in the bad old days the most fuel I put in me Petrol Primera was €30 in one day for a long shift..That was while fuel was about €1.50 a litre.
At current prices and doing a long shift I reckon I can afford fuel to double before I start getting concerned about the profitably of taxi driving in the Prius,even if things go very quiet.What's the most you can afford to pay?
Some lads on here already putting €40 shift into their diesels.Can they afford €80 if there's not as much work.
My pessimistic guess for next month is €2.30 a liter.

Also the leccy prices will likely go up in tandem and especially so for lads using expensive commercially operated fast chargers. Mostly Watty that needs to worry until he figures out the home charger thing.

... No Ken ffs ...I said in rubles..
My apologies, I thought that you were just speaking in slang. oops
The market on Russian rubles is very fluid at the moment,
today 180 rubles trade @ 1.88 Euro but by tomorrow it could be anything,
so on what date and time do you wish to set your 180 ruble price ?
(Price must be set in Euro by 28th Feb.)

Also the leccy prices will likely go up in tandem and especially so for lads using expensive commercially operated fast chargers. Mostly Watty that needs to worry until he figures out the home charger thing.
Don't quote me but it looks like I'm going to be about €1,500 for the year so not pennies but not as bad as diesel.
I could save more again if I start using the granny charger at home but I wouldn't trust plugging it in overnight (in case the electricians are right!) So it would just be 3 or 4 hours while I was awake and at home or on my days off.
Everyone comes up with their own routine eventually. I was down the port one day hoping to use the charger there. Their was a guy ahead of me at the charger. I asked how long he would be and he said 5 mins. He explained that he just pulled in to take a piss so he plugged his EV to get a percent or two! Another day, I saw a private citizen plug in his EV and go off jogging around the port! Suits me at the moment to pull into a fast charger for 30-40 mins, have a coffee, a few smokes, and read the paper :2cheers
-
Fair play Watty I'm just thinking ahead (partly for when I likely go electric myself)hopefully the fast chargers stay fast and cheapish.
One thing I've noticed anytime I'm at the cinema in Blanch there's a different taxi on the charger at TGI Fridays.There seems to be other drivers that are using the public charger network to finish their shift.I can't imagine that being a part of my week if I go electric.Full charge at home only or else it's not worth it.I know you've got unique circumstances Watty so need to charge on the go.
Lately I've seen an MG Zs, MG5 and a E2008.All taxis.Are any of those fast chargers free?
-
AFAIK, no chargers are free. There might have been some free slow ones in Aldi/Lidl if your were shopping but I think that stopped. Some of the showrooms have chargers and I've heard of some people going in a blagging and a few hours on them. Some hotels etc are free but they expect you to be staying there!
The external chargers are 'cheap' at the moment. In the UK, the price is going from 40 pence to 50 pence/kWh (~48-->~60 cents). I don't think we'll go that bad but it might rise. ESB Ecars have a balancing act. At the moment, they're undercutting the private competition on price (very roughly 30c v. 35c). If they raise their prices, people will move to the private chargers and that will encourage the private chargers to increase their number.
The chargers at Blanch are an anomaly and a bit of a fuk up. There's a rapid 50kw and a 150kw high power charger (HPC) there. They have 22 or 43kW chargers on them as well but the HPC is pointless in the middle of a huge shopping centre. There really should be 4 or 8 or 12 'destination' chargers (22/43kW) there so people can charge for 2 or 3 hours while they're shopping/eating/at the cinema. Rapid (50) or HPC (150) should be placed where people are on the go and in a rush (eg airport/port/motorways).

I often use external dryers for household washing. If I was late in returning to collect the clothes I'm quite sure someone would become impatient and unload them and deposit them in the washing drum next door.
Is it OK if you notice that a charging cycle is over, but the car owner is nowhere to be seen, to unplug his lead and to connect your own?
-
I don't think it's possible to know when the first car is finished. It's up to them when they finish.
For example, eCars charge you an extra €4.60 if you go past 46 mins (geddit) on a rapid charger. The app tells you when they started so, the other day, I parked beside a tourist EV thinking they'd be finished in 5 mins at the 45 min mark. But they must have been planning a long journey so they stayed past the 46mins and took the penalty so they could fill up the battery as much as possible. I left after 10 mins but kept an eye on them via the app. I think they stayed 90 mins.
The correct answer (prob invented by middle-class people) is that the first car sticks a notice on their car staying when they'll be finished or display their mobile number to call. Needless to say, there's an app for that but I don't know what it is.
P.S. the rapid chargers uses a lot of direct current (DC) so the cable is quite thick and supplied by the charger. I guess if you didn't disconnect properly, it's possible the DC cable might get stuck in the first car and then both of ye are fukked! (You don't use your own cable unless it's for the slow AC (22/43kW) or you're home-charging on AC.)
-
I think getting an untethered charger might be a good idea with all the thefts anall!! lol
-
€1.85 diesel €1.94 petrol and 10 cent more for the higher grade diesel and petrol by the end if march. All fuel will be over €2 per litre by end of year.
-

That's interesting. I thought (and I'm not sure why) the car released - as in unlocked - the cable once it's charged to whatever level (e.g. 80%) you set so the next man can unplug you and plug himself in, assuming you're not about.
-

Are thefts common? I've heard of one up above in Dublin. I'm not sure the thieves would care if it's tethered or not, it's probably the box they're after rather than the lead?

I don't have the answer to that for definite. All EV's, afaik, have an emergency release cable to release the charger if it gets stuck. So maybe getting stuck is/was common enough to warrant the emergency release cable?
The MG5 does release the charger when I stop charging but you can't rip it out when it is charging. Once the external charger 'froze' at the initial 'handshake' and wouldn't release the cable for maybe 5 minutes. Only happened to me once though.
In the MG5, you cannot program an end-point to stop charging at an external rapid charger because... (I'm sure it's more complicated that this)... the DC goes straight into the battery and the Battery Management Software (BMS) only has a little bit of control of it.
I also understand that, industry-wide, BMS software is still in the infancy stage and there isn't enough agreed communication protocols when it comes to charging. So the charging stations take the lowest common denominator - charge on & charge off & a few other things. Some home chargers can stop at a certain percentage but I believe that's the charger doing it and not the car's BMS.
The technology is evolving rapidly so I'd bet there are new EV's out there that are clever enough to do all the above.

Get that kid out of that school its only for SPECIAL NEEDS FUCKTARDS .If his teacher tells him that Russia has no effect on Fuel prices he is a Fucking moron .Ireland buys its fuel on the international market and Russia most certainty has effect . I am smarter as an economist than most of the fucktards in this country .I Appeared on Prime Time with Pat Kenny about ten years ago .On the Panel were Professor Mary Murphy from Maynooth and Alan Aherne who worked For Goldman and was Chief advisor to the Irish Government under Bertie Aherne ,He is now Professor of Economics at UCG .I introduced him to an education .On National television a Dublin Taxi Driver said the ECB would print money A Government advisor told him he was wrong and didnt know what he was talking about as printing money was against ECB Policy One of us was right and the other fella teaches idiots to be idiots .
I also posted on Roys in 2012 that as soon as the Conservative Party in the Uk was re elected they would leave the EU .I got a Gig off Roy in the Microsoft HQ in Leopardstown they laughed at me .They didnt laugh when I was offered a substantial fee three years ago to do a live webinar explaining why I said so and what were my predictions .If your kid wants to learn international Politics or Finance tell him to contact me .

That was sneaky covering the bottom like what I done earlier, Ken. Ifn I had my eye on the ball I woulda gazzumped you at the midnight hour!

Agreed it was a tad low to be doing it so late in the game but it was my honest guess at the time (9.04pm) leaving almost 3 hours fer anyone else to gazzump me on the lowest figure.

I will put you in at 88.9 Mytaxi007, but did you mean 188.9 ?
If you could confirm before 17/3/2022 then we could use the palpable error rule to rectify it.

I think Leo has said that the government will consider stepping in on the excise on Fuel.
As yis know with the tax being a percentage of the base price of the fuel the pump price gets moved more than the underlying crude in a compounding effect.....I think.
Prices usually lag behind the crude price so we might have to go a little higher before panic sets in.
Don't forget a lot of the increases are just lads with loads of money speculating.

Fare review - not necessarily an increase. No doubt fuel cost savings through the expansion of the Hybrid and EV fleet will have a significant negative impact on the taxi cost index.
In any event, Free Now blocked the last review.

The Circle K on the Navan Road was never the cheapest but 208.9 for diesel and petrol plus :o :o :o

It's getting very serious now... very, very serious. In fact very, very, very serious might not be overstating just how serious it's getting.
On my way to work last night c.19:43 Certa, Santry was 198.8c/litre and the Top yard across the road was 199.9c/litre. Applegreen, Santry was actually cheaper at 187.8c/litre. As I neared the end of my shift I headed towards Applegreen to fill up a couple of times but kept getting work. Anywaysanall, I decided to draw a line under the, now lengthy, shift in Sutton, switching all apps and the roofsign off at c23:37. As luck would have it, I found diesel for 184.8c/litre in Applegreen, Baldoyle so squeezed in as much as the tank would take. It still worked out at 12c/kilo... some 20% dearer than a week or two ago... and only going to get worse.
Where can one buy an EV in a hurry?
-
It is getting very serious, prices down here just hoovering below the 2 Euro mark and seemingly things are expected to get a lot more serious !
This time next year we might be millionaires driving a Rickshaw !!

@rat catcher, its well protected, the 1.715 per litre for 1300 litres is looking dirt cheap now. I'm hearing that it could go to near 3€ per litre after the yanks and Brits announcement today cutting out all Russian oil by years end. Those fucken yanks just had to agree to make Ukraine neutral in 2014 no nato and eu, but no they kept poking the bear until he attacked, we're fucked because Russia, china, India, Pakistan, most of south east Asia, Iran countries in south America and Africa will stick together with trade and cut the west out of the picture, there's around a billion of us and over 4 billion of them. The power shift is on because of the meddling west.

Seems to be K Circle doin the gouging,the Govt reduce the excise which will amount to a reduction in Unleaded by 20c and Diesel by 15c....but they've upped their prices in advance to negate any reduction for motorists,Green Apple(the ones I've seen) haven't increased their prices but not to say they won't join the Gouging Crew.

Fuel stations do not have to pass on excise duty cut to customers at pump

Fuel Stations Do Not Have To Pass On Excise Duty Cut To Customers At Pump
10/03/2022 | 17:16 PM
SARAH MOONEY
There is no limit to the fuel prices filling stations can set, Ireland’s consumer watchdog has said, adding that traders have no obligation to pass on a cut in excise duty to customers at the pump.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) said there are “no legal barriers” to filling stations independently increasing prices, after politicians called for it to investigate alleged price-gouging ahead of a cut in excise duty.
On Thursday, the watchdog said traders are not obliged to pass on reductions to VAT or other excise charges to consumers.

Circle K Clonshaugh Rd 181.9 right now!

Most of the ck I passed last night were that price.
The maxol on sandyford road was 197!

Every Applegreen I passed was 194.8, even the M1. Most unusual for them to all be the same but I guess it ought to be encouraged as it simplifies choices for motorists.

Applegreen’s oil storage facility raises questions about regular price hikes
Charlie Weston
March 12 2022 02:30 AM
One of the largest petrol retailers has been accused of profiteering for pushing up prices on an almost daily basis despite jointly owning a massive oil storage facility at Dublin Port.
Applegreen is the 50pc owner of a fuel terminal that can hold up to 90 million litres, understood to be about four weeks’ supply for filling stations.
This means Applegreen retail outlets should not need to increase petrol and diesel prices so often.
Canadian-owned Circle K, which has 360 locations in the Republic, has also come in for strong criticism, with some calling for a boycott of its outlets.
Circle K denies fuel prices were raised ahead of the excise duty cut.
The fact that Applegreen is the joint owner – with Valero – of one of the largest oil storage facilities in the State has raised questions about its outlets raising prices so often at the moment.
Having such a large fuel terminal should mean far more infrequent price rises at the pumps, according to chairman of the Consumers Association Michael Kilcoyne.
Applegreen denied it was profiteering. It acknowledged it is the part-owner of what it calls the “joint fuels terminal” in Dublin Port.
But “we do not operate the facility and do not own stock contents within the terminal”.
A number of other major forecourt operators, as well as smaller non-forecourt operators, also source their fuel from the terminal, it said.
“Applegreen purchases fuel on a daily basis, from many terminals across the island, including from the joint fuels terminal in Dublin Port.
“The price of these purchases is set by international energy markets and also influenced by foreign exchange rates.”
These prices change on a daily basis, based on movements within the international energy markets, Applegreen said.
“The prices that our customers are paying at the pumps reflect the current prices set by international markets. The cost price of fuel has moved rapidly over the past week and at a scale not seen for over a decade.”
It comes after Taoiseach Micheál Martin said reports of price gouging at petrol stations were “morally reprehensible”.
AA Ireland reported that filling station prices have begun to fall. Crude prices have come down, but others said petrol retailers may be reacting to accusations of price gouging by cutting their prices.

c. 14c/kilo... what sort of motor are you driving? My 1.6 Octy works about a bit under 12c/kilo at the moment observing speed limits at all times.

Mini bus

In that case one would suggest you're probably driving quite competently - somewhat of a rarity among Dublin taxi drivers.

But can we really trust the results? Not being funny or anything but the guy running this competition is the very one that has cheated before on numerous polls and stuff. I say an independent enquiry should be organised. He really should have been banned from starting any polls or competitions after the last farce.
