Local Website to see if you are being Fuelled- Callan

Drogheda is to get its first weekly fuel review site as Kevin Callan of Fine Gael has decided to take action to help local consumers find the best priced diesel and petrol in Drogheda and South Louth. Kevin Callan who is a local Fine Gael Representative has launched a weekly review of petrol and diesel prices in the Drogheda and South Louth Area after receiving complaints from local people about the difference in the prices of fuel.

In a bold move Mr. Callan has undertaken to provide a weekly breakdown of prices of all filling stations in Drogheda town and as far as Termonfeckin and Collon. The information, it is hoped will help local people find the best prices in town and out of town. It is to be the most comprehensive and up to date information on Drogheda fuel prices available to consumers.

“This information will help everybody in the local area to get the best value for their money without having to shop around and drive to different filling stations, there are some real price differences in the locality and petrol and diesel prices don’t appear to be structured in any particular fashion. It's important to be able find the station with the lowest priced fuel. The information that is available on my website and on request by text will give information about low priced fuel and will be updated every Saturday morning by 9am.
According to Mr. Callan, the National Consumer Agency recently published a report which stated that there were gaps in the way fuel prices were tracked in the Republic. The report from the consumer body identifies gaps in the manner in which information on retail petrol and diesel prices are collected and publicised and said there was “scope for enhancement in analysis and reporting” of fuel prices.
It said improvements in price tracking would better inform consumers of general trends in petrol and diesel prices and “place a sustained spotlight on the competitive environment in this important sector”.
Commenting on this information gap, Mr. Callan has said for price competition to be effective, Louth consumers must be fully informed. He said the report indicated there was a need for reform of the collation and publication of information on the retail price for fuel. “In the meantime, I have decided to do what I can and by providing this information on a weekly basis, I hope to help locally”.
“With times being tough and with everybody keeping an eye on money, I hope that this service will help people to find the cheapest fuel locally and will be of assistance. The information is available at www.kevincallan.blogspot.com and will be updated every saturday”.
