Live petrol, diesel, home heating oil, and EV charging prices across County Kildare, updated in real time by drivers across Ireland. One of Ireland's busiest commuter counties, with major stations on the M7 and M4.
County Kildare is Ireland's most significant motorway-commuter county. The M7 Dublin to Limerick motorway and the M4 Dublin to Galway motorway both cut through the county, carrying some of the heaviest non-orbital traffic flows in Ireland. Each morning, tens of thousands of commuters travel from Naas, Newbridge, Celbridge, Leixlip, and Maynooth into Dublin. The return flow in the evening mirrors it almost exactly.
This volume has made Kildare's forecourt market one of the most competitive outside Dublin. Large service areas near Junction 9 on the M7 (Naas) and at Maynooth on the M4 attract enormous throughput, and the N7 national primary road that preceded the motorway still carries local traffic past numerous independent stations through Rathcoole, Saggart, and the Kill roundabout area.
South Kildare is a more rural picture. The Barrow valley towns of Athy and Monasterevin are market-town hubs with their own local stations, but the sparsely populated land between them and the Laois border means longer drives between options. The Curragh plains divide north from south Kildare and have very few stations despite the large military base and racecourse traffic.
The county's flat terrain and proximity to Dublin has driven comparatively high EV adoption in the commuter towns. Leixlip, Celbridge, and Maynooth all have public charging infrastructure. Agricultural land in the south of the county generates green diesel demand, particularly at the tillage farms of the Kildare plain.

Kildare motorway forecourts serve huge daily volumes, which keeps them price-aware. Some drivers deliberately fill up in Kildare rather than Dublin for better value. FuelWatch lets you check live prices at M7 and M4 stations, updated in real time, before deciding where to stop.
Yes. FuelWatch covers stations across the whole county. Prices are updated in real time by drivers as they fill up along the R417 and R448 through south Kildare, keeping coverage current in areas with lower traffic volumes.
