In Coleraine a litre of petrol costs less than £1 again. OK, it's 99.9 pence, but that's less than £1. Diesel is still about 11p dearer than petrol.
The situation's a bit different when you cross the border into the Republic. The photo above shows petrol slightly cheaper than in the UK, but diesel is around 15p cheaper.
I have bought all my petrol and diesel at this filling station in Muff, Co. Donegal for a number of years. I have saved a lot of money over the years, because the price differential used to be greater. The exchange rate hasn't been in my favour for some months now. Around a year ago a euro's worth of fuel cost me 69p, now it costs 80p.
It's getting to the point where it won't be worth driving over the border to get petrol, but I'll still make the trip for my diesel.
