In February, Irish motorists were again confronted with increased fuel costs.
The latest AA Ireland Fuel Survey has indicated that both petrol and diesel rose by four cents per litre.
At present, the average cost of petrol is €1.80 per litre, with diesel is €1.77 per litre, adding to the incessant public financial burden.
However, electric vehicle owners can find relief with charging costs falling noticeably.
The estimated yearly cost to cover 17,000 km in an EV has declined slightly to €810, thus giving a small gain for those who have switched to electrics.
AA Ireland says motorists can greatly manage ever-increasing costs by adopting several fuel-efficient driving habits.
People can lower fuel use through proper route planning, maintaining a constant speed, and using eco-driving modes wherever possible.
To further support drivers, AA Ireland members can save on fuel costs via exclusive discounts at Circle K garages, in turn supporting drivers.
Customers are able to receive a discount of 3 cents for every litre of petrol and diesel, and a discount of 6 cents for every litre of milesPlus fuel by using the AA Ireland App.
