January Sees Drop in Irish Petrol and Diesel Prices

AA Ireland's latest monthly fuel price survey shows a small reduction in fuel prices in January, with both petrol and diesel costs easing compared to December levels. Electric vehicle charging costs remain unchanged, today's figures show. AA Ireland said the price of diesel fell to €1.69 per litre in January, down from €1.73 in December on average. Petrol prices eased to €1.70 per litre in January from €1.74 in December on average. An AA Ireland spokesperson said that after several months of relative stability, January has brought a modest reduction in fuel prices for motorists. "While the decreases are not dramatic, any easing at the pumps is welcome, particularly at a time of year when many households are managing post-Christmas financial pressures. Fuel prices do, however, remain high by historical standards," the spokesperson added. AA Ireland noted that pump prices can still vary considerably by location, and motorists are encouraged to shop around where possible.
