    You probably already know of www.pumps.ie?
    But tbh, the difference between filling your tank at the cheapest station and the dearest is usually less than 2 euro, is it worth it?

    I think the cheapest is Maxol in Westside. €155.9.

    Garage at the docks is €157.9

    Topaz in Bohermore is €159.9 :confused:

    Is it worth the extra petrol you burn to get there tho. If you're spending 15-20 minutes in traffic it's good odds you're burning a liter of petrol. Assuming a 40l fill it'd need to be a 4c/l difference to make the trip worthwhile.

    OP if you can give us an idea of your weekly fuel consumption we can then calculate what the difference would be between various garages.
    But changing driving style, removing all heavy extra stuff from boot, increasing tyre pressure, cleaning the engine etc will probably have a greater impact (not that I'm dissing your idea, look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves).
