The cost of a litre of both petrol and diesel has remained largely unchanged since last month.
That's according to the AA’s latest fuel price study, which shows that petrol has increased slightly by 0.4c to a current price of 126.9c per litre, with diesel remaining at 116.9c per litre.
Both fuel prices have dropped significantly since the start of the year, when a litre of petrol cost 144.5c, with diesel costing 135.9c on average.
While Covid19 restrictions have lead to a reduction in traffic volumes, Conor Faughnan, AA Director of Consumer Affairs, said that for those who must travel, such as health workers, the fact that fuel prices have remained low is to he welcomed.
Mr Faughnan said, "Truth be told is that we are in a period of great uncertainty and the only thing we truly know is that we know nothing about what the economic situation will look like in the weeks and months ahead. This instability and decrease in demand is likely to have an impact on fuel prices moving forward as we come to grips with the global Coronavirus crisis."
In recent weeks crude oil prices have bounced back slightly from the lows seen in mid-March.
Early last week, Brent Crude Oil was trading at approximately $35 per barrel as prices increased ahead of an expected OPEC decision to cut oil supply.
Despite the increases in crude oil costs, the AA said this should not lead to significant changes at the pump.
