December Fuel Price Survey

According to the most recent survey, petrol prices have risen by 1 cent to an average of €1.74 per litre, while diesel prices have increased by 3 cents this month to €1.71 per litre. Crude oil prices remain steady month on month at around $73 per barrel. Electric vehicle owners can expect to pay an average of €816.62 per year to cover an average of 17,000 km per year. 


Jennifer Kilduff, Head of Marketing & PR for the AA (Ireland), said, "Fuel prices have increased again this month which is disappointing to see. For EV drivers there was also a slight increase in the average yearly costs and the advice would be to continue to look at energy providers rates and select a plan that best suits your needs. For example, there are offers available with Energia at the moment on the EV Smart Drive plan providing low rates of 7.54c/kWh for charging between 2am and 6am plus you can get €50 cashback. It’s always a good idea for customers to compare the estimated annual bill when doing their research.”


It is worth 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,” Kilduff added.
