How much does it cost to drive in Ireland?
Like in every other country, fuel prices fluctuate with the international Oil price and fuel consumption is dependent on the type of car you drive. However, as a general benchmark a basic manual economy car will travel about 11.5 miles per Litre. At present (January 2009) a Litre of Petrol costs on average €0.93, therefore the manual economy car will cost approximately €0.08 per mile to drive.
