The town has only seen a one cent increase per litre at it’s cheapest station on the same time last month, when we checked earlier today. The two Applegreen stations have retained their spot as the cheapest places to fill up in town  €1.28.8. 

Applegreen are followed by five other stations just fractionally higher at a price of  €1.28.9 per litre. They are: Top, Horan Centre and Caherslee, Topaz, Manor West and Clash and Inver on the Castlemaine Road.

Rooted to the bottom once again and quite a bit more expensive than the rest is Texaco, Oakpark €1.34.9. Here’s the full list…
