Petrol prices jump 8c per litre and diesel up 6c after duty rise

"The price of a barrel of oil has remained quite stable over the past 30 days, so we haven't seen too much fluctuation in pricing at the pumps."

Fuel prices at the pumps have increased more than 4% compared to the same time last month after duty increases on petrol and diesel. 

According to the AA Fuel Price Survey, the average price for petrol is €1.65, with the average price for diesel being €1.53.
