Use recent prices for timing
Market conditions can change quickly. Compare recent supplier prices in Louth and set a price alert if your target is below the recent average.
Louth's position on the Dublin-Belfast corridor gives it excellent supplier coverage, with both capital-based nationals and strong local operators.
1. Compare prices before you order
Never auto-renew without checking the market first. Local quotes can diverge by county, volume, and delivery slot even within the same week.
2. Order larger quantities when it suits your tank
Delivery costs are relatively fixed whether a tanker drops 300L or 1000L, so the per-litre price is usually lower on larger fills.
- 300L: Most expensive per litre. Emergency top-up only.
- 500L: Standard order size, better value.
- 1000L: Usually the best value if your tank can hold it.
3. Time your purchase with recent data
Historical patterns are useful context, but they are not reliable in fast-moving markets. The best approach is to monitor recent county prices, compare multiple suppliers, and buy before your tank reaches a critical level.
If your tank is under half, prioritize security of supply first. If you have more flexibility, use alerts and recent county pricing to track movement in Louth before placing an order.
4. Understand what you're paying for
Your total price includes crude-linked product costs, refining and distribution costs, carbon tax (~€0.161/L), and VAT (13.5%). Here's the approximate breakdown for a typical Louth order:

5. Watch out for hidden fees

- Credit card surcharges (1-2%)
- Urgent or weekend delivery fees
- "Through the house" delivery charges
- Minimum order surcharges on small fills
Tankful shows you the total delivered price so you can compare like-for-like.
