Thanks for the info.
Just out of curiosity, can someone provide information as to the
source(s) of the petrol used in Ireland?
Is it primarily Middle Eastern?
Thanks

| No, it is from the North sea- but the price is the price on the spot
market.

Damn right!! Here in the Great White North, we are supposed to be completely
self-sufficient in oil and gas production. So there should no price increases
for gasoline (petrol), right? Well (no pun intended), the buggers have raised
the price of premium grade (at least here in eastern Ontario and western
Qu�bec) from 53.9�/litre to 61.9�/litre over the last month, that's about
the same as going from IR�1.22/gallon to IR�1.41/gallon (a rise of 19p). The
reason is totally due to the spot market price, as Canada is a net exporter
of oil and natural gas (nearly all of the natural gas consumed in the West
Coast states comes from Alberta gas wells). We're being gouged again!

| Well, 50 miles a day is a bit much to pedal (but it would help my
diet)......but old Beulah the Buick will only drink unleaded
supreme.....trying to make up my mind which is worse....gas bills
now about $120/mo or a new car payment (for a newer, more fuel
efficient) model.
Listening to ya'll outside the States, guess I'll have to "quit my
bitchin".
