Nine figures, one pattern: every price here is a report with a date attached, and the date is often what separates a useful number from a stale one.

Which gas stations near me are open now?

How the ‘open now’ filter works in map search

• Google Maps offers an ‘Open now’ filter for nearby results, and according to Asia Voice SG (third-party travel guide), it is the quickest way to check hours.
• That guide notes the filter is only as accurate as the business’s Google Business Profile, so a listing that has not been updated can show the wrong status.

Confirming opening hours at 24/7 service stations

• According to IrelandByCar (secondary travel guide), 24-hour stations are more common on motorways and along the M50 ring around Dublin.
• The same guide says rural stations often close around 9 pm, and some do not open on Sundays.

The catch: an ‘open now’ badge is a listing claim, and none of the sources reviewed checks it against brand or Google data. Call the station before a late drive into the countryside.

What are the cheapest gas stations near me?

Comparing prices per litre

• FuelWatch’s national listing puts the cheapest euro petrol at €1.889/L and the cheapest euro diesel at €2.049/L, both reported in the final days of October 2026.
• TankRadar’s Ireland page lists a cheapest E10 petrol of €1.778 across 42 tracked stations.

Why the nearest station is not always the cheapest

• According to IrelandByCar, supermarket forecourts typically run 5–10 cents below standalone forecourts, while motorway stations run 10–15 cents above city forecourts.
• Smart Refuel claims supermarket forecourts are 3–8c/litre cheaper than branded stations, a self-reported figure it does not verify.

The implication: the cheapest pin is only cheap if its report is recent, and the 5 to 10 cent supermarket gap that IrelandByCar describes matters less than a price that is several months old.

How much do fuel prices vary between stations near me?

Brand differences seen in Irish results

• FuelWatch’s Dublin page lists cheapest petrol at €1.939/L at Applegreen Swords Mountgorry and cheapest diesel at €2.069/L at Circle K Westway, both reported on 26 October 2026.
• TankRadar’s Dublin page puts cheapest E10 petrol at €1.739 at Circle K Apollo, 6 km away, and cheapest diesel at €1.888 at Applegreen Swords Mountgorry, 5 km away (TankRadar (Dublin price tracker)).

Verifying prices before relying on them

• CheckIreland’s Dublin page lists cheapest petrol at €1.690 per litre, nearly 25 cents below FuelWatch’s Dublin figure, and that lower figure carries an older, possibly outdated report date.
• Two platforms reporting on the same day can name different cheapest stations, so one app is not a verdict (FuelWatch and FuelFinder.ie county pages).

Five platforms and one secondary guide, one pattern: each price is a driver’s report or a third-party tracker’s estimate, so the caveat column matters more than the coverage column.

The implication: a 28 cent diesel spread in Dublin is real money on a full tank, but only when both prices are still current.

What this means: a driver comparing two Dublin pumps should check both report dates first, because the price gap only matters when both figures are current.

How do I find a petrol station near me on Maps?

Searching ‘petrol station near me’ in Google Maps

1. Open Google Maps and search for “petrol station near me”.
2. Apply the ‘Open now’ filter to remove stations that are closed at the time you search.
3. Before you set off, check the shortlisted stations against a driver-reported price site and confirm the report date.

Using device location for nearby results

• FuelWatch’s near-me FAQ says location-based results use device location to centre the map on you, and no sign-in is required to look up prices (FuelWatch (near-me FAQ)).
• Check that location permission is switched on before you search, because a “near me” result depends on it.

The implication: a “near me” list is only as local as your phone’s location, so check the pin, then the price, then the report date.

What services does a service station near me offer?

Fuel, coffee and daily essentials

• None of the sources reviewed for this piece confirms what a station sells beyond fuel, so no service list is verified here.
• According to IrelandByCar, rural stations often close around 9 pm and some do not open on Sundays.

Fuel card and HGV locations

• No supplied source confirms which stations accept fuel cards or serve HGVs.
• Check the operator’s own station finder before planning a route on that basis.

The implication: services are the least documented part of this search. A map pin tells you where the forecourt is, not what it sells.

Confirmed facts and open questions

Confirmed facts

• Ireland has no official per-station price feed, and every price on FuelFinder.ie came from a driver (FuelFinder.ie driver-reported price platform).
• FuelWatch’s Dublin page recommends checking each report date alongside the price (FuelWatch Dublin county page).
• Lowest unleaded in Lurgan was 155.9p per litre at Texaco Lurgan Filling Station on 26 October 2026 (Fuel Finder UK northern Ireland price tracker).

What’s unclear

• The current price at any single station, because platforms disagree and their figures carry different dates.
• Whether the €1.200 Galway diesel price is genuine (FuelFinder.ie Galway county page).
• Whether the FuelCompare figures of €1.67/L diesel and €1.70/L petrol reflect Irish prices today, since no other supplied source corroborates them (Asia Voice SG third-party travel guide).
• Real-time fuel availability at individual stations, which no supplied source measures.

The implication: until a station’s own report is dated and matched by a second platform, treat its price as a lead to check, not a number to plan a trip around.

In the platforms’ own words

“Ireland has no official per-station price feed — every price here came from a driver.”

FuelFinder.ie intelligence page (driver-reported price platform)

“Fuel prices are crowdsourced by our community and may not reflect live station prices.”

Smart Refuel (fuel price comparison map)

“Prices indicative — check at the pump.”

TankRadar (Ireland price tracker)

For a driver heading out on a low tank, the choice is clear: confirm the price and its report date before leaving, or accept that the cheapest pin may be several months old.
