Petrol and diesel prices decrease

The energy regulator ERSE reports that the efficient price for 95-octane petrol has decreased by 4.7% to 1.961 euros per litre, and simple diesel has fallen by 4.2% to 2.193 euros per litre for the week of 9 to 15 November. These values are benchmarks based on international market costs and do not represent regulated prices, as operators are free to set their own retail prices.

Why it matters

If you drive, you may see lower fuel costs at the pump this week, though retailers set their own prices independently of this benchmark.
