The ever rising price of petrol

Anyone who drives will have noticed the apparently never ending rise in petrol and diesel prices over the last two years. While oil prices are still well below their record highs from 2008, Irish Petrol prices have never been more expensive. This is mostly due to rises in carbon Levy's, vat and excise duty rates.

While some may take it as a sign to jump on your bike to get around, for most that is not an option. You should shop around for your petrol as you do for any other product, www.pumps.ie allows you to compare all the prices of the service stations in your area.

Always fill up in the cheapest place, at the very least it will signal to the station operators that their customers are responsive to prices changes and will respond to value.
