Live petrol, diesel, home heating oil, green diesel, and EV charging prices across County Roscommon, updated in real time by drivers. From Roscommon town and Boyle to Castlerea, Ballaghaderreen, and the rural west.
County Roscommon is one of Ireland's most rural counties, stretching from the Shannon and Lough Ree in the east to the Connacht lakeland and the Galway border in the west. The county lacks a motorway, which means all traffic flows through the national primary and secondary road network, with the N5 (Dublin to Westport via Longford and Castlerea) and the N61 (Athlone to Boyle) as the main arteries.
Roscommon town, the county town, is centrally located on the N61 and is the most accessible fuelling point for a wide radius of surrounding countryside. It has several competing forecourts and is the natural hub for drivers coming from Athlone to the south or Boyle to the north. Boyle, in the north of the county near the Sligo border, sits on the busy N4 Dublin-to-Sligo road. Long-distance traffic on the N4 passes through Boyle, giving its stations a dual role: serving local Roscommon drivers and serving intercity traffic moving between Sligo and Dublin.
Castlerea on the N60 and Ballaghaderreen further west are smaller market towns that serve the dispersed population across the county's western half. In this part of Roscommon, distances between towns are long and the road network narrows significantly. Planning fuel stops in advance is a practical consideration for drivers crossing the county west to east, especially if journeys start in Galway or Mayo and finish in Dublin or the midlands.
Roscommon's landscape of drumlins, wetlands, and river callows supports a cattle and sheep farming economy that generates consistent demand for green diesel. Home heating oil (kerosene) is the dominant domestic fuel throughout the county. FuelWatch covers both, along with its car fuel layers.
