Hundreds queue for cut-price petrol

Motorists packed a petrol station yesterday to fill their tanks with cut-price fuel.

The Texoil outlet in Ballincollig, Co Cork, which is shutting its forecourt operation on the town’s Link Rd, slashed its fuel prices as a “thank you” to loyal customers.

The average price of a litre of petrol is currently hovering around the €1.57 mark, with diesel selling for around €1.52 per litre.
