FuelWatch shows live petrol prices at stations near your location anywhere in Ireland, updated in real time by drivers as they fill up. Open the map, allow location access, and the stations nearest you are sorted so you can see what each one is charging before you commit to a forecourt.
Open app.fuelwatch.ie or the free iOS app and allow location access. The map centres on where you are and shows the petrol price at each nearby station, with the most recently updated stations marked as fresh.
The spread between the cheapest and dearest petrol within a short drive is routinely 6 to 10 cents per litre. On a 50-litre fill that is the difference between a normal tank and three to five euro handed over for nothing. The gap is widest where a supermarket forecourt or a motorway service area sits close to an independent station.
Prices move at different times at different sites. A station that was cheapest last week is not automatically cheapest today, which is exactly why the map is worth a ten-second check rather than a habit.
Roughly 60 percent of what you pay for a litre of petrol in Ireland is tax: excise duty, the carbon charge, the NORA levy, the Better Energy levy, and VAT charged on top of all of it. That portion is identical at every station in the country.
Everything else is the retailer. Site rent, wholesale contract, delivery frequency, and above all local competition determine the rest. A forecourt with three rivals within a kilometre prices very differently from the only station on a twenty-kilometre stretch of road, which is why the cheapest petrol near you is a local question rather than a national one.
Coverage runs across all 32 counties, including Northern Ireland, where prices are shown in pounds. Browse by county from the fuel prices by county pages, or check the national price chart to see how the current average compares with recent months.
If the price on the forecourt board differs from what the map shows, submitting an update takes under thirty seconds and keeps the map honest for the next driver.

The spread between the cheapest and dearest petrol within a short drive is commonly 6 to 10 cents per litre, which is roughly 3 to 5 euro on a 50-litre fill. Over a year of weekly fills that is a meaningful amount for a ten-second check.
Yes. FuelWatch covers stations across all 32 counties, including rural areas and Northern Ireland. Coverage in quieter areas depends on drivers who travel those roads, so submitting a price when you fill up helps everyone nearby.
