Title: Road tax in Ireland.
Post by: Olympia5776 on 25 April 2008, 16:47:19: Just renewed my vehicle road tax on line over here.
590euro which is £464 for a 2.0lt >:( >:( >:(
We may have a slightly lower petrol price over here but road tax is a killer.
Next month another 500 euro for the Freelander :'( and then the Manta in June ( it's only 25 euro 'cause it's over 30 years old.... :y)
Oh yeah forgot to say the vans were last month.... ::)

116 cents which is 91p a litre .
When we came over here four years ago it was 60 cents so it's virtually doubled in that time.
If it continues I'm switching to the ride on lawnmower..... ;D

Post by: robbo299 on 25 April 2008, 19:07:02: 91p a litre is better than i expected. Was thinking about popping over to see the wife's relations in Millstreet Co. Cork. Decided against as i thought petrol would be dearer than over here and what with ferry prices plus getting to and from ferry i wouldn't have much change out of £600. :(

I remember those. Only time I've ever ridden one it was through my mate's mum's rose bed when I was about 14. ;D

A mate of mine had one and he got knocked off it by our maths teacher's wife on the way home from school. He was so embarrassed to be seen on it let alone in a heap at the side of the road he rode off home without an exhaust leaving me to collect it and walk home with it. >:(

Post by: Olympia5776 on 26 April 2008, 10:49:28: Hello Mike .
Not really sure ,but a friend of mine owns the local garage so I'll ask. He has a LPG pump so if we have one down here in the deepest SW I would think it would be reasonably available.
I'll get back to you .
If your an AA member you could ask AAireland.ie
Cheers
Don
