Live petrol, diesel, home heating oil, green diesel, and EV charging prices across Ireland's largest county, updated in real time by drivers as they fill up on roads from Mallow to Bantry.
As of , the FuelWatch national average is approximately €1.73 per litre for petrol and €1.71 per litre for diesel. Prices at individual forecourts in County Cork vary around the national average — the cheapest and most expensive station in the same area can differ by 10 to 15 cent per litre, so checking the live price map before you fill up usually pays for itself. Figures last reviewed 2 July 2026.
Cork is Ireland's largest county by land area, stretching from the busy N25 Waterford road in the east to the Sheep's Head and Beara peninsulas in the far west. This geography creates a genuine split in the fuel market: urban Cork City and the commuter towns of Midleton, Carrigaline, and Ballincollig operate in a competitive multi-station environment, while remote West Cork communities around Schull, Bantry, and Castletownbere face far fewer choices.
The Jack Lynch Tunnel and the N40 South Ring Road have transformed Cork City's traffic flows, concentrating large volumes of commuter traffic between Mahon, Douglas, and the city centre. The N22 west to Macroom and Killarney and the N20 north to Limerick are major long-distance corridors with a mix of large forecourts and independent stations.
Cork Harbour is one of the busiest in Ireland. Cobh, Ringaskiddy, and Passage West have working marine infrastructure that drives green diesel demand from the fishing and maritime sector. Pastoral farming across North Cork (Mallow, Charleville, Kanturk) and West Cork creates substantial agricultural demand for green diesel as well.
Home heating oil is common throughout rural Cork where the gas network does not reach. The oil-merchant routes serving the Bandon, Clonakilty, and Skibbereen hinterlands are tracked on FuelWatch's Home Oil layer.

Open FuelWatch to see live petrol prices, updated in real time by drivers, at stations near your location. The app covers Cork City forecourts and outlying county stations. Prices near the N25 and N40 ring road tend to be updated frequently because of high traffic volumes.
Urban Cork and suburban towns like Midleton and Carrigaline have more competing stations, which creates pressure on prices. Remote West Cork communities have fewer options. FuelWatch lets you see exactly what each station is charging before you drive out of your way.
Yes. FuelWatch tracks green diesel alongside petrol, diesel, home heating oil, and EV charging. Cork's extensive farmland and active fishing ports mean green diesel demand is significant, and FuelWatch covers agricultural and marine depots across the county.
