Are gas/petrol stations in Ireland typically "pump your own gas/petrol"?

In past trips to Ireland, I remember petrol stations being full-service like the US states of Oregon and New Jersey. I also remember a few self-service stations. But I don't recall which was more prevalent and I am sure its changed since I last visited.

But what kind of service is typically found nowadays in Ireland?

And if it is self-service, are they typically pay at the pump with credit card?

Do you pump your own gas in Ireland?

Yes, you fuel the car yourself. (The only places in the US where you don't do this are in New Jersey and Oregon, otherwise it's the norm.) Just note that if you ask a local in Ireland for directions to a "gas station", you might get a strange response.

How do you fill up gas in Ireland?

At some stations, you pump the gas first and then pay the cashier (your pump may be "frozen" until the previous customer pays his or her bill). At others, you pay at a central kiosk and then select your pump number. Some places offer full service. Other stations are like the ones in the US, where you pay at the pump.

Why do some gas stations pump gas for you?

Because convenience stores could sell unbranded gasoline from self-service pumps cheaper than the branded, full-service stations, customers flocked to convenience stores for their fill ups. \u201cThe public is interested in lower prices, and immediately went for self-service gasoline,\u201d said Roscoe.

How do you pay for petrol in Ireland?

There aren't very many pumps with credit card in the pump, so the OP can just pay at the counter. Payment is after fuelling in almost all cases, except after 11pm when many places require prepay (or leaving your card at the desk).. Funny about knowing how to open the gas cover.
