Can anyone shed light on the recent hikes in petrol and diesel in Ireland.
In the past three weeks there has been an 8 cent increase in the cost of both.
This increase is occuring on a nationwide level, as far as I can see.
On my recent travels I have noticed that the price is almost uniform at €1.27 for diesl and €1.39 for petrol. This is regardless of whether I am in Carlow, Cork, Waterford or Tipperary.
We are accustomed to some garages being dearer than others in specific areas, based upon supply and demand. There seems to be an element of price fixing going on at the moment.
It is too suspicious when all ptrol stations can agree a price regardless of their geographical location.
