Cost of diesel now under 170p per litre as petrol and home heating oil also drop across Northern Ireland
Fuel forecourt prices have continued to dip, as has the cost of home heating oil.
That is the picture painted by the latest weekly survey of prices by the Consumer Council across Northern Ireland.
It found that the average price of a litre of diesel in the Province is now 169.3p per litre, its lowest price since March 26.
A week earlier it had been 172.2ppl, while at its peak on April 16 it had reached 188.1ppl.
Petrol is now averaging at 150.6ppl.
A week earlier it had been at 151.9ppl, and at its peak – also on April 16 – it had stood at 154ppl exactly.
The most expensive diesel the Consumer Council found this week was at a station in Enniskillen: 177.9ppl.
The most expensive petrol was 159.9ppl, found at stations in Cookstown and Magherafelt.
According to the website Boilerjuice.com, red diesel now averages 92.75ppl in Northern Ireland (without VAT), down from 94.06ppl a week before. At the start of March it was nearly 130ppl.
Home heating oil has continued to fall week-on-week too.
The average price for a 900 litre load is £736 this week, down from £754 a week earlier and well below its peak of £1,089 on April 9.
The average price for 500 litres is now £414, down from £435 a week prior. At its peak on April 9 it had been £612.
And the average price for 300 litres is now £256, down from £263. It had topped out on April 9 at £383.
