Just behind and only around the corner from Manor Village, is Inver on the Castlemaine Road with a price of €1.27.9.

There are five stations with a price of €1.28.9 and four at a price of €1.29.9. For the first time in a long time not showing a whole lot of disparity in the different prices that can be got around town.

Back in June the the lowest price in Tralee for a litre of petrol was €1.41.8. Though this represents a substantial drop in price, it still is higher on average than what petrol was going for at the beginning of the year. In Febuary, Traleetoday.ie recorded it as low as €1.26.8.

Applegreen at Manor Village is the joint cheapest in town for petrol and diesel.

WE checked out where the cheapest petrol price in town was three weeks ago and €1.28.9 was the lowest we found at Nolan’s Esso on North Circular Road and ‘Top’ at Manor.

In that short space of time, a quick drive around to the stations on Wednesday morning revealed a six cent drop on that figure.

The cheapest places to fill up in Tralee now are the Applegreen stations in Fairies Cross and Manor Village at a price of €1.22.8 per litre.

Coming up just behind Applegreen are ‘Top’ in the Horan Centre and the ‘Inver’ station on the Castlemaine Road with a price of €1.22.9.

Then comes Nolan’s Esso on North Circular Road, Joe O’Connor’s Esso at Clash and Topaz in Manor on €1.23.9.

Five stations are priced €1.24.9. These include the well known garages, Kelliher’s of Rathass and McElligotts Oakpark along with O’Shea’s Texaco station in Blennerville, Amber just outside the entrance to Shanakill and Topaz  in Mounthawk also feature as one of the five more expensive places to fill up in Tralee.

How petrol and diesel prices (checked on Wednesday morning) rank in town:

1. Applegreen at Fairies Cross and Manor Village  – €1.22.8 (Diesel – €1.15.8)

2. Top Horan Centre, Inver Castlemaine Road – €1.22.9 (Diesel – €1.15.9)

3. Esso NCR, Esso Quill St, Topaz Manor – €1.23.9 (Diesel – €1.16.9)

THE rain fell, but did nothing to dampen the spirits of Judith Hayes from Abbeydorney, who was handed over the keys of a brand new Citroen C4 in the Tralee branch of Credit Union on Friday morning.

Judith who is originally from, St Brendan’s Park, is the latest winner in Tralee Credit Union’s Members Car Draw.

“I am delighted, I was speechless when I received the phone call telling me I’d won. I think I’m still in shock, as I never win anything,” said Judith Hayes.

Judith’s current car is seven years old, so a brand new car is a welcome addition to the Hayes family home in Abbeydorney.

“I can’t wait to drive it away,” said Judith.

Tralee Credit Union’s next Members Car Draw is in December.
