Fuel prices increased again this month, the latest AA Ireland Fuel Survey reveals.
Petrol prices rose by a cent to an average of €1.74 per litre, while diesel prices increased by three cents this month to €1.71 per litre.
AA Ireland noted that crude oil prices remain steady month on month at around $73 a barrel.
Electric car drivers also saw a slight increase in the average yearly costs and can expect to pay an average of €816.62 a year to cover an average of 17,000 km a year, today’s survey shows.
Jennifer Kilduff, Head of Marketing & PR for the AA Ireland said that keeping your vehicle properly maintained and reducing driving speed this winter can improve vehicle fuel efficiency and performance.
“The basics such as checking your tyre pressure and thread depth, fluid levels, and removing any unnecessary weight such as roof racks can contribute to better fuel efficiency and overall driving performance,” she added.
