Madam, - The Irish Times/TNS MRBI poll in Monday's edition suggests that 47 per cent of Irish people believe they are being "ripped off" when buying petrol in Ireland.
The website of AA Ireland, www.aaireland.ie, which publishes a monthly survey of petrol prices in the EU and other countries, shows that petrol prices in Ireland are currently among the lowest in the euro zone, with only three countries recording lower prices.
So, does your poll tell us more about the relative costliness of petrol in Ireland, or Irish people's awareness of the world around them? - Yours, etc,
GARRETH McDAID, Drumleague, Leitrim Village, Co Leitrim.
