Those are rookie numbers get ready for 4 euro plus a liter. The shit is in mid air and it will hit the fan in the next two weeks

Something finally gave. Shit finally hit the fan. As bleak as this is it’s very interesting to watch play out from a zoomed out perspective.

This is why I support today’s fuel protests. We cannot tolerate fuel becoming too expensive.
I’m just glad we’re heading into warmer weather and thus the reliance on home heating oil isn’t as great.

My big concern is that if the prices stay high enough for long enough, they will become the new normal

Heard someone on about the fuel processing plants in Iran. Apparently if Trump takes them out it would be years before fuel prices returned to a normal price.

How much was the govt take in excise duty and VAT when diesel was €1.70 per litre and was it their take now, at €2.20?

“Mineral Oil Tax 2025: A total of €2.73 billion was generated from mineral oil tax on petrol and diesel in 2025, an increase of €183 million over 2024.
Excise duties are part of the broader €22 billion+ VAT and total taxes on products, which also included €0.6 billion in customs duties in 2024”
You know I think an excise duty holiday would be feasible on road fuel for six months. Just remove the drop in VAT on hospitality which has an estimated cost of 900m in 26/27.

Genuinely lost for words at peoples stupidity with this whole thing. People think we should be cutting taxes to heat the band so regular Joe’s can still drive willy nilly around the place, to pretend all of this isnt happening. Supply is fucked, government are ina shocking situation. They’ll need to do something for certain sectors to make sure they can stay going but other than that we will be dealing with higher prices for a while

Goodbye foreign holidays, goodbye affordable goods and groceries, goodbye driving to work and school,
Hello unemployment, hello to another decade of housing crisis, hello to even more cramped public transport.
All because one idiot yank wanted a distraction from his kid diddling.

You can thank the greens for ensuring we can never drill for oil in the corrib field.
Had we done that we would be fine.
There is 2 million barrels in just one of the fields.
