Cost Of Living

I was in  Spain near salou in June and fuel was around the 2.10 2.15 Mark

I'm away on the hols in Spain, 154c a litre here which is significantly cheaper than Ireland. So it's not all inflation, its taxation too.

That seems cheap. Are you driving on the red as usual?

[gallsman]

Yeah, would absolute love to know who's doing it for 1.54

There's a temporary govt rebate scheme of 20c per litre in place on fuel prices in Spain. The seller gets it directly, it runs from April to September.

Where in Spain? Been paying between 2,06 and 2,14 for last month for diesel. Not seen below i'd say 1,85 in about three months or so. All these numbers before the 20cent rebate

The subsidy is before you see the price afaik, so add 20c to get the actual price.
They've usually been higher priced than Ireland so was a bit surprised by that price. Rioja it is!

Didn't they do away with being able to buy red diesel there a few months ago?

Anyone still able to source some, what price is it at the minute?

Lol.

Nah just wondering what the price is now that diesel is near £2 a litre.

Saw a fella in a Passat parked tight against the red pump at the local shop the other day. There seemed to be plenty of space to park elsewhere if just calling in for the paper

He just wanted to ensure that others wouldn't be tempted to use that pump.

No, if price displayed is €2.10 you end up paying €1.90 after benefitting from the subsidy. Receipt will say X litres @ 2.10 and then have subsidy line which is discounted.

In any case, despite their protestations I'm pretty sure the majority of the subsidy is just going into the petrol station operator's pockets. I'd say they will have a very good year....although I think initially at least they were basically being asked to give the subsidy at point-of-sale and then reclaim (which is one of the reasons I think most of it is going to them anyway because if they were to finance €0.2 a litre for real, I'd imagine they'd have some serious cash flow issues, so instead they just jack up the price)

Canary Islands.

Might be a mixture of price increase plus the summer holidays with the kids off but the electric has jumped up approx 40% per week!
