As we likely all still need petrol/ diesel, we just pick one of the companies and avoid them, eg we all stop going to Circle K, Circle K will lose trade and eventually have to lower price which would force others to do the same.
We have to do something as this sh*t isn’t sustainable
Edit, changed the chain from topaz to circle K
When did Burger King get into selling fuel? They are nicer than McDonald’s, and now you want me to boycott them?
The issue isn’t price-gouging, it’s the wholesale cost of fuel. These chains need to make a margin. If we boycott one of them, they won’t reduce the cost of fuel significantly because it would make zero business sense for them to reduce their prices and sell fuel at a loss. What a boycott would do is get the good folk who work in said petrol stations to get laid off. So yeah, maybe have a think about who you’d actually be hurting.
jesus I paid 2.05 for diesel today, even apple green on m1 sells diesel for 2.12 today
Ya… fuck Burger King and there mouthwatering, flamegrilled price gouging
Strange things are afoot
Let’s do it! Boycott them
Just be glad that we are helping the environment and hurting the bad Russians!
Or else remove the Sanctions on Russia that would avoid the u.s and Israel from profiting from the war? The only people suffering apart from the Ukrainians are the EU citizens. It makes no sense that the EU has now signed an agreement to by gas from a country like Israel given their crimes against the Palestinians. Or is it a case we don’t mind brown people being murdered but do mind if they’re white like the Ukrainians?
How is that going to do anything? At most you will make one chain go bust if you had everyone join you. Which would just mean less competition and higher prices.
A better idea is to just go to where ever is the cheapest in an area.
Wouldn’t that cause the prices to increase further due to lack of competition?
That’s not even the highest I’ve seen
It should become even more expensive when Russian oil is completely banned.
This is how to do it. Completely destroy one company, then move into the next. Unless we stick together then we will continue to be fxxked over by their price fixing.
There’s no shortage on petrol or diesel. I work in the industry.
The put up the price because we pay it
How can we get traction on this, Facebook WhatsApp and discord
You don’t need to fully boycott them, just don’t buy anything in them but petrol/diesel, they make their money from the coffee etc.
Get an Ev and boycott them all forever
I’m boycotting all of them as much as I can. I recently bought myself a [granny cart](https://i.imgur.com/aRfegtV.jpg) for doing the shopping instead of using the car. Every little helps as they say.
I’d even be willing to pay 3 euros a litre, if that meant driving russia to stone age. Problem is, it probably wouldn’t.
Again just to re-iterate (as I do a few times a week)
Opec+ are and oil cartel of dictatorship countries including Russia that determine the brunt of what you fuel costs.
How bout you take public transport instead of boycotting from inside the car? Yeah I know, where you are from there’s no public transport. Dublin roads are filled with cars, what about those people? What is the excuse for that?
Another idea would be to set up a company, buy wholesale fuel and sell it without the margins that the oil companies sell it at
You’ll either be a genius who revolutionised a business run by people keeping prices high (like Apple/Spotify did the music business) or have to cancel half way because the reality of wholesale pricing and keeping a multinational afload punches you in the face
Not sure where this is but prices down the N11 are 2.09. It is higher in and around Kimmage and they can vary from 2.11 to 2.15 this is for diesel.
There is no cartel price fixing. Prove it. Don’t be a sheep and spread an easy but false message.
Don’t be those people believing oil hit €148 back in 2010. Just don’t.
What we need is to bring back full work from home options. Tell your bosses that you are finding it tough to commute and PT isn’t an option.
I’m spending less in a couple of months than I spent in a week (£50pw to £70pm) when I was commuting every day, since I’ve been working from home.
Don’t blink
Don’t blink
Don’t blink

And its up by 20c again
OPEC:
Used to work at a petrol station in Ireland. Profit margins are really thin. Places with shops or services attached often sell fuel at a loss, just to get customers onsite.
You’re targeting the wrong people.
Walk or cycle or run or get the bus. That’s the way to stick it to them, whomever them are.
Class idea. Can someone do a poll to choose the brand to boycott?
Yeah we get it I see them every day sound again thanks 👍
Agreed.
Its not their fault. Boycott the government. Stop paying your taxes until they reduce the carbon tax
It’s all gone peet thong 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
How are you long commenters handling this? These fuel prices must be taking a fair portion of your wage away every week. Would you consider electric vehicles given the circumstances?
I put a tenner in 3 weeks ago, went home, got the covid bike out and haven’t used the car since
I stopped shopping in circle k after their last stunt of upping the price by 20c the night before the state cut taxes. Fuck them.
This could actually be a genius way to break up a cartel, go after a single member. We would need a nationwide campaign targeting social media to get the message out. We would also need volunteer to stand outside with placards saying “beep your horn if you think X is screwing you with over priced petrol/diesel”. We could pull up in our cars and block the filling station. We could send out emails/make phone calls to our local TS/newspapers even contact the head office of the supplier of the filling station. We could also stop the lorries from leaving the targeted filling station.
I’ve had enough of this shite. People are getting rich because we are all willing to pay but if we stop paying then prices will have to come down.
