Drivers save €5.70 a month as fuel prices drop further

Average fuel prices have fallen for the third month in a row with drivers saving an average of €5.70 a month to fill up compared to July, according to the AA.

It’s survey of national prices found a litre of petrol now costs an average of 127.5c, down 3.8c. Diesel prices have dropped by 2.3c.

AA said the falling pump prices are partly the result of a recent drop in the cost of oil, which now sits at €45.54 compared to a high of €49 in mid-July.
