Fuel prices are currently at an all time high, and experts predict they will rise even more.
A survey published in the Independent today shows that the average price of petrol stands at 1 euro 72 cent per litre, with a litre of diesel at 1 euro 63 cent – both are up almost 50 cents per litre in just 12 months.
The price rise is a significant contrast to last year, when the average price of petrol was 1 euro 25 cent, with diesel at 1 euro 17 cent.
The prices were examined at 260 service stations across the country.
