Despite reaching €2 per litre in some forecourts last year, the price of motor fuel has dropped dramatically in Killarney in the past 12 months with a big reduction in the cost of both petrol and diesel due to volatility in the markets for energy and fuel following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
On this day last year, KillarneyToday.com conducted a snap survey at the 10 local pumps and discovered petrol priced as high as 183.9 per litre and diesel was on sale for as much as 193.9.
12 months to the day, we repeated the exercise and the pleasant surprise was that petrol was over 25 cent cheaper at most filling stations and the price of diesel was down by over 30 cent per litre in most places.
KillarneyToday.com conducted the latest prices spot-check this Friday afternoon and the prices featured here are based on what was displayed on the illuminated signs in the forecourts or on the pumps themselves.
The cheapest filling stations for a litre of petrol this afternoon were Circle K on Park Road and Certa, Killarney Park at 156.9 while the cheapest litre of diesel was at Circle K on Park Road, Certa, Killarney Park and Hegarty’s on Muckross Road, all priced at 155.9.
