Shoppers can fill up after shopping at Tesco

SUPERMARKET giants Tesco yesterday sparked a possible price war after it opened its first petrol filling station.

The petrol station in Killarney, Co Kerry, is beside Tesco’s store on the east side of the town and is offering the cheapest petrol in the area, plus petrol price cuts for supermarket shoppers. Prices have been cut to 84c a litre for unleaded and to 76c for diesel. This is under 2c cheaper than other outlets in the town.

Tesco is planning to open three further petrol stations in Dundrum, Finglas and Maynooth early next year.
