Fuel prices have fallen to their lowest level in over a year - but they are set to see an increase on June 1 due to the reintroduction of excise duty.
The Government cut excise duty in March 2022 as fuel prices soared due to the war in Ukraine. But it February it was announced that excise duty cuts would be restored on a phased basis between June and September. So it would be wise to fill up the tanks in the next two weeks, and today the cheapest places to get fuel are in Ballinteer and Crumlin.
The latest AA Ireland fuel prices survey for May shows the average petrol price across the state is €1.57, the lowest since September 2021. From June 1, petrol is set to rise up to six cents per litre for petrol and five cents per litre for diesel.
