Friends,
I need to take on about 2300 liters of diesel. I ran today's rate through AI including the UK VAT discount of 40% for heating the boat and converted the pound/euro to USD.
Here's what AI determined:
In Scotland, with the 60% propulsion and 40% heating split, and the different VAT rates, your total came to about $7,660.
In Ireland, with the full VAT rate on the entire purchase, the total was about $5,848.
That's was a surprise and big difference.
Do you have additional thoughts?

Charles & Lisa,
The cost of road diesel is (or was) dropping quite fast and the average is £1.637 today which is £3788. But that’s a lot of trips with cans to filling station for you!
