So it’s bound to shoot up tomorrow before the 20c reduction?
The price will probably drop by 5c
Should be 20%
Edit, thanks for the downvotes- unforgiving lot.
It’s like being on the journal sometimes.
They should be made cap it at a certain price. As Jon_J_ said, it will shoot up tomorrow so it will make fuck all of a difference.
So still more than it was before?
Thankfully we have a great public transport system… oh wait
How much are we paying in tax on a litre
Went up 8c overnight in local garage.
Fat Karen idling her SUV while waiting for her obese kids to drive 800m home will be back
Waste of time
Great… except it’s gone up by 33c in the last two weeks 🤔
Excise should be removed full stop for 6 months and reasses then, this isn’t just drivers it effects everything
I think it’s time to dust off the auld 50cc moped.
They should freeze the price at 1.50€ instead of this bullshit reduction.
Jesus Christ there is no winning with you people
Why only 15c on diesel, both are currently the same price.

That will work when its 2.60 in a few weeks
Have the opposition come along to say they’d cut it by 30c yet?
The fuck will that change… If they will just rise again afterwards? Cap the fucking price and lower the tax from 50% to 25% you fucking bastards. Things won’t change in this country until we hit the fucking streets protesting this absurdity.
Unpopular opinion alert! No doubt it’s a shit situation, but reducing the excise is a sticky plaster “solution”. The excise and tax are there for a reason: it goes into the government coffers, which, in theory, goes back into society. Drop the tax/excise and that money has to come from somewhere. With climate change, fossil fuels are not going to be getting any cheaper over time. Apart from the war, fingers crossed that’s a short term blip, in the longer term, the issue about fuel price and fuel use is not going away. I’d much rather see the government having the funds to put into sustainable travel solutions (in their many guises) than subsidise fossil fuel use. In the longer term, fossil fuels just won’t be an option, so the sooner we get support from government to move away from them, the better. The rate of increase is the startling thing right now, but it’s “head in the sand” stuff if anyone thinks a few cent off right now is going to make the problem go away. Popular to subsidise, and arguably necessary given the sudden price rise, but not the best move ultimately.
I just can’t shake the feeling that this is price gouging by suppliers due to the war rather than the actual effect of the war itself.
Maybe it’s the cynic in me but I feel like the govt could reduce their take on fuel to 0 and the price would stay the same as suppliers know we have to pay it.
Don’t envy them the process of rolling this back when the supply renormalises.
Implementing a flat rate would have made more sense.
This won’t stop continuing increases.
So, let me understand this;
They add tax with a percentage.
They reduce tax with a flat figure.
For the love of god don’t cut tax on petrol and oil just place a cap on the prices. Everyone loves complaining about _greedy_ government and standing up for _honest to go business that definitely have consumers in their interest not profits_. I already know what will happen, the duty will be cut, the price will go down barely and then soar back over the ATH with the tax payer out of pocket and private businesses in the better.
Price Cap not rate hike!
Circle K on Kickham Steet in Thurles went up to €2.16, went to the other one on Abbey Road and it was €1.95. Fucking chancers.
Reducing duty on fuel and failing to cap prices does nothing but take money from the government and put in into the pockets of private companies
