Cheap Fuel

[Hardy36]

I know there's no such thing. However, I am soon to leave on a long trip across and around Ireland . Any suggestion of Cheaper fuel locations in UK or Ireland would be appreciated. Is fuel cheaper in Southern Ireland ?
thanks

Cheaper than where ? What sort of fuel ?

Diesel is cheaper in the Republic of Ireland than in Northern Ireland, if that helps.

Green, agricultural diesel, can be purchased at many marinas and rural service stations and use is legal in yachts.
Its use is allowed for non propulsion, heating and battery charging etc.
You are required to declare any propulsion usage at the end of the year to revenue.
This is a very much a self policed system for sail boats, I,v never heard of any spot checks to date.
See the Irish Sailing Association website for more info.
Enjoy our great hospitality.

Any idea of current price per liter for the green agricultural diesel?

Any idea of current price per liter for the green agricultural diesel?

Current prices:_

Green diesel €0.68/litre (but you need to buy in minimum 200l) and €1.55/litre which you can buy in single or multiples. Some marinas may offer green diesel but, understandably, at prices higher than quoted here.

Why is green diesel 68 euros a litre in bulk in Eire BUT 78 pence a litre bulk in the UK?-

Latest quote fo bulk gas oil, green diesel delivered by tanker.
Prices for small quantities are substantialy higher, around 20%.

I dont know about southern ireland but we filled up in bangor marina on our way into belfast last year & they ask you what "split" you want 60/40 being the norm in the uk but we were advised by a couple of local owners that they declared 95/5% & had never been challenged so we just followed their lead

maybe there are cheaper places available but if you want the convinience of a marina its still a saving

belfast is well worth a visit if your going that far north & moorings in the city are fairly cheap just next to the titanic museum the open topped bus tour round the city is very enlightening & definately a must see

enjoy
