Following three consecutive months of fuel price decreases, there has been a slight increase in petrol and diesel prices for November.

According to the latest AA Ireland survey, petrol prices have risen by two cents to an average of €1.73 per litre, while diesel prices have increased by 1 cent to €1.67 per litre.

Despite these increases, crude oil prices were reduced slightly, averaging around $72 per barrel.

Electric vehicle owners can expect to pay an average of €808.64 per year to cover an average of 17,000 km per year.

Jennifer Kilduff, Head of Marketing & PR for the AA (Ireland), said, "Great news for EV drivers as reductions from Electric Ireland kicked in from November 1st. Shopping around for the best energy provider rates, making use of home charging if you can and using night rates will further decrease running costs.

"For petrol and diesel drivers, the price at the pump is marginally higher this month, mainly down to varying prices at different retailers around the country.”
