Irish motorists now spending more than €2,000 a year to fuel car

Aviva survey shows the impact from prices surging even more in recent months, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The findings of the survey of 1,000 people by iReach for insurers Aviva suggest that Irish consumers are spending more than €2,000 a year to fill their car, reflecting the surging fuel costs in the past year.
