Petrol price over the border

SnowyOwl_2

I was in Omeath today and purchased petrol at £1.26 per litre... I live close to Newry so it is certainly worth the few miles extra drive to fill up. Newry's best deal is £1.439 according to petrolprices.com. This was the petrol station on the right as you come into Omeath from Newry direction. A couple of other petrol stations are in operation in Omeath but they were all dearer.

*edit to add... you can pay in Sterling and they all had Sterling prices up.

anyone who lives or works near the border always uses the border to their advantage .
Petrol is one of the few things that is cheaper in the South.

I know people who have never crossed the border in their lives ,I find that really strange .
Borders are there to be used .

I remember on the rare occassion that we would have went over the boarder as a family when i was wee, once we got through the boarder checks my mum would have wound up the windows and locked all the doors... no idea what / who she thought was going to attack us

don`t know about petrol but the cheapest Diesel i can see yesterday is 140.9 outside Banbridge. No point in going over the border.

Still cheaper if you happen to be down South at an average €1.55

= 1.35 sterling (roughly)

Not sure if they sell petrol at the station right across from Daveys pub, but they are giving a really good rate, E1.20 per £1,

Last time I was in Omeath was to beat the Sunday opening hours. (Red Star from Warrenpoint).

No point in me going across the border to fill up. I saw 1.35 per litre the other day and there's always somewhere round here which has a deal on. Tesco for example.

We're not in an advantageous position to make use of cross border fuel prices anyway. Not too far, but far enough for it to be a waste of time.

All ASDAs are doing well at present with diesel prices at 137.7. Notice the difference between petrol and diesel as come way down. Not sure why...

The supermarkets have just announced another reduction.
