There’s a difference between crude oil price and the price of refined products, especially when a load of Russia’s capacity is offline, they’ve banned exports, and are instead importing fuel.
Right now there’s lots of demand for refined fuels and not enough local capacity.

It won’t, the government will just take more of it as tax

Fantastic news.
Can’t wait for all the “because oil prices” increases over the last few years to start getting rolled back.

I’ll stick my neck out and predict the paying customer will see no benefit from this

Recent carbon taxes added to fuel costs have taken away any reductions we would of seen

Just like all other services in Ireland, you will be ripped off. Not a thing you can do about it either as they are increasing electricity prices also if you want to go green.

The difference between the north and the south’s prices is roughly 20 pence a litre after exchange. Someone’s putting their hands in peoples pockets.

We need to keep the peasants poor and hungry other wise they will start getting ideas. Of course the will be drip feed to us like everything else. We will surely see the end of the Ukrainian war in the early part of 2026 thus unlocking all the price increases linked to it will also row back down the way or will they..? I’d highly doubt we would see anything return to the pre 2021 pricing. See the ESB are throwing €1 a month to improve the network…. Not only do they make €100’s of million a year in profits but feel the need to shaft joe public even more. We have no watchdog no ombudsman with any teeth to call these people out for what they are which is to clearly rob you as much as possible.

Most of the price you pay is tax and the cost to refine and ship it to the country. There will be very little change.

They’ll drop the price by 5 cent and the government will put on a 20c “fuck you” levy

Petrol shoukd be regulared same as electricity is. If it gets cheaper to make it should be cheaper to buy, but unfortunately is more like airlines, it’s all about demand.
If they can make more bucks out of it they will.

“USC is only temporary” vibes from this. We’ll see no difference whatsoever. Sure they’re making too much money to drop the price. How will the shareholders get their bonuses?

People here should learn about Tax incidence, could be applied to this. It’s cause it’s a necessity consumers always lose out because their demand is more price inelastic. Tis quite unfortunate for consumers

Remember during the lockdown when petrol was €1.25 per liter.
We won’t see those prices this time around.

Price for fuel in 2021 was down to the 1.40ish range for fuel. If you cross the border you can get fuel for 20 cents a litre less on average compared to this side. Not sure if its carbon taxes or just strait up greed to explain for fuel being a much bigger rip off here for the last few years.

lol ireland only increasing year on year the price.

I actually go up north as I live just a few minutes from the border.. I paid £1.28/L a week ago, about €1.46. I doubt it’ll beat that.

it wont.

Unleaded 95 is under a euro in many parts of Spain currently.
In all likelihood – zero. Hope I’m wrong though.
Meanwhile, petrol will go up to 1.90 here
It might fall by a couple of cent. But will still be over €2 a lt this time next year. The trend is always only one way.
Can’t wait for distributors to pass savings to customers!
I wish.
