Diesel is expected to increase by 0.5 cents per litre, while petrol will increase by 1.5 cents per litre.

After three consecutive weeks in which the fall in fuel prices was halted by the Government, which decided to unfreeze the Carbon Tax, drivers will find themselves facing increases next week.

If the forecasts for next week are confirmed, the average price of regular diesel should be set at €1.537/l, while that of 95% regular gasoline should be €1.667/l.
