Forfás Consumer Pricing Report 2003: Statements.

 

My own research throughout the country over the past four weeks, in so far as it was possible – I ask people to contact me or other public representatives in this regard – focused on petrol and diesel prices. The lowest petrol price in Ireland this morning is available at Colman Neville's, Midleton, County Cork, where a litre of unleaded petrol is 79.9 cents. He does not come first for diesel, which is 71.9 cents, a price that applies throughout Midleton. Mr. Neville, to whom I spoke this morning, said the fact that the terminal is close to the refinery possibly helps to make him more competitive while another factor is that he is not aligned to any big company. Therefore, he has freedom of movement as far as supplies are concerned.
