Petrol prices highest in a decade and rising

Seán McCárthaigh

One garage near Limerick city was yesterday charging 116.2 cent for a litre of unleaded petrol as the national average price has now risen to 105.3c. The average price for diesel is just slightly lower at 105c per litre.

The latest increase means some Limerick motorists could be paying over 10% over the national average for a litre of petrol.
