The average petrol price increased slightly by 1 cent to €1.81 per litre in August, while diesel prices remained steady at €1.74 per litre.
This follows the reinstatement of excise duty at the start of this month.
The data from AA Ireland reveals that the average monthly charging costs for EV drivers increased in August, as a result of providers reversing the decreases we saw in July.
It states that electric vehicle owners can expect to pay an average of €916 per year to cover the national average of 17,000 km per year, which is an increase of €39 per year month on month.
"It will be interesting to see how the next few months go and what budget 2025 will bring for the motorist," said Jennifer Kilduff, Head of Marketing & PR for the AA Ireland.
Crude oil prices are slightly lower this month at $80 per barrel.
