OVER the course of the month we have seen a slight rise in petrol and diesel prices at the 13 petrol stations around town.
Prices had dropped at the beginning of last month but since then there has been a fractional increase in fuel costs.
€1.23.8 was the best value last month, the cheapest now is slightly over it at a price of €1.24.8 at Joe O’Connor’s Topaz garage in Clash. Just trailing by .1 of a cent is the Topaz station just up the road in Manor West.
Once the proposed Topaz service station at the old John Mitchels pitch is completed we may have four Topaz stations operating in the town. Double the amount of any other rival supplier.
