A litre of petrol in Killarney is 90c. Yet just 70 miles away in Limerick, it’s 110c. Fuel for thought
There was a difference of 20 cent in the price of a litre of unleaded petrol in some garages yesterday, with one Shell garage in Limerick charging motorists €1.09. Another Shell outlet in Killarney was charging 89.9c.
The discrepancy prompted the head of the consumers’ lobby, Dermott Jewell, to urge garages to increase market share by cutting the price to their valued customers.
