Starting this weekend, consumers will experience a shift in fuel prices, with high-octane petrol set to become more affordable while liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and propane see an increase. As of Saturday, October 31, the price of SuperPlus 98 petrol (E5) will decrease by 3.7 cents, bringing it to €1.899 per litre. This reduction offers some relief for motorists who rely on high-octane petrol.
Conversely, those using LPG and propane should prepare for a hike in costs. The price of LPG will rise by 2.9 cents to €0.972 per litre, while residential propane will increase to €0.953 per litre. This adjustment follows the overall trend of fluctuating energy prices, impacting households and businesses that depend on these fuels.
Breaking down the latest fuel prices for October 31, EuroSuper 95 (E10) will cost €1.759 per litre, Diesel (B7) will be priced at €2.11 per litre, and heating fuel will remain at €1.601 per litre. Additionally, bottled propane will be sold at €2.459 per kilogram, and bottled butane will cost €2.262 per kilogram.
The changes mean that while drivers using high-octane petrol will benefit from reduced costs, those using LPG and propane, particularly in residential settings, will face increased expenses. This development highlights the varying trends within the fuel market and their impact on different consumer groups.
