Fuel Prices Soar and What’s Next | Dublin News

Fuel prices surged in August, with diesel up 11% to €1.92/litre and petrol rising 5% to €1.84/litre — costing drivers an extra €9.50 for diesel and €4.50 for petrol per tank. Global market forces, not tax changes, drove the spike, but brace for more: fuel duty cuts expire at month’s end, adding 9c to petrol and 10c to diesel in September, followed by further hikes through December. Experts urge drivers to boost efficiency via tire pressure checks, regular servicing, and air filter replacements to offset rising costs.
