Petrol & diesel to rise by 6c on Thursday
« on: May 27, 2023, 05:22:39 pm »
Might be worth filling up on Tues or Wed!

Motorists braced for fuel excise duty increase

Quote
Fuel excise duty will rise on Thursday in the first of three planned increases aimed at restoring rates to their pre-Ukraine war levels.

It will mark the beginning of the end of the Government's immediate response to the energy crisis – and comes as consumers continue to face cost-of-living pressures elsewhere.

To be fair, the price at the pump has plummeted since Dr. Leo regained control from Mehaul. I guess we can well afford minor increases given that we survived the Mehaul years. Dr. Leo is great so he is!

You're being very magnanimous considering it's the first of three increases!

Things are going well on the EV front as well.  The charger I use most frequently has dropped it's connection charge by 0.3cent to 19.7cent from 20cent.  This time next year, Rodders...

Always prefer to pay for my fuel cash in advance.

You do still pay in cash, you just swipe your tag at the till and the 4 cent comes off then pay as you wish, cash or card.
I even have a second tag which me small fella uses on his private car all the time.

It was simply softening the blow, in the same way, the energy subsidy via the €600 electricity grant was given.
Now that the subsidy has been exhausted the price stays abnormally high.

Wait until we are forced into a mono-fuel situation, electric houses, and EV cars, and watch the dial go up in electric prices.
F**ked no matter how ya look at it.

its about a 3.5% increase .You could probably save that per annum with a good service from your favourite Spanner Wrestler for under 150 but just checking the oil and water seems to be enough for most motorists .Same with getting the car washed 9 euro and a 5er tip for Paddy the Shammy but still wont service the car .

An oil change won't do much for your fuel consumption. Maintaining your tyres and the pressures thereof, on the other hand, will... as will driving in accordance with the rules of the road, in particular not exceeding speed limits.
