Diesel prices drop further but petrol costs have gone back up




The latest fuel price analysis presents a mixed picture for motorists in June, with diesel costs continuing to fall while petrol prices edged slightly higher.

Figures from AA Ireland show diesel dropped to an average of €1.88 per litre in June, down nine cents from May’s average of €1.97 per litre, reports Breaking News.

Petrol prices rose marginally to an average of €1.84 per litre, up two cents from May’s average of €1.82 per litre.

Electric vehicle charging rates remained broadly stable compared to May, continuing to offer motorists more consistent running costs in contrast to the volatility seen in fuel prices, reports Breaking News.

An AA Ireland spokesperson said: “Diesel motorists will welcome another reduction in fuel costs this month, with prices continuing to move away from the highs experienced earlier in the year.

“However, the slight increase in petrol prices serves as a reminder that fuel markets remain unpredictable and can move in different directions within a short period.

“While recent trends have provided some relief for drivers, fuel prices remain vulnerable to global market developments. Factors such as oil production, geopolitical events and currency fluctuations continue to influence prices at the pump, and motorists should remain mindful that further changes are possible in the months ahead,” reports Breaking News.
