THE price of petrol and diesel has changed very little in the past six weeks in service stations around the town.

In our regular check on the prices of fuel, it shows that most garages were around the same as the last time we checked, with Top in Caherslee the cheapest for petrol at €1.26.5 per litre (€1.16.5 for diesel), marginally ahead of Top, Horan Centre.

The rest of the stations varied between €1.27.5 and €1.30.9 which was around the same as June 30 prices, the last time we surveyed.

Back in January the cheapest price was €1.32.8 and €1.23.8 so that’s still a five cent drop per litre since the start of the year in many garages. See the full list of prices below (cheapest first)…
