FuelWatch tracked 10,000+ price readings across Ireland from January to March 2026. Here's what the data shows.
Daily national average fuel prices across Ireland, January – March 2026. Based on 10,000+ dated price readings from four independent sources.
Sources: PickaPump API, Pumps.ie, FuelCompare.ie, FuelWatch community reports. Daily averages calculated from all available dated readings per day.
Diesel crossed €2 per litre on 17 March 2026 — the first time since July 2022. By 18 March, the national average reached €2.09 based on 387 price readings — the most-reported single day in the dataset.
The difference between the cheapest and most expensive stations is now over 20c per litre in some counties. Without transparency, drivers have no way to compare.
Ireland has no mandatory price reporting scheme. This analysis was only possible because FuelWatch aggregated publicly available community-sourced data from four platforms. A mandatory system would make this data authoritative.

There is "a degree of price-gouging going on." — Taoiseach Micheal Martin, March 2026
There is no legal obligation on companies to set prices at a level consumers consider fair. — CCPC, March 2026
Without a platform, there is no data. Without data, there is no enforcement.
TD Shay Brennan has called for a mandatory "PumpWatch" system — requiring all ~1,200 Irish petrol stations to publish prices digitally and update them within 30 minutes. But there is no bill, no infrastructure, no platform to power it.
Every country that solved this started with a platform.
We are ready for what comes next and become the national standard.
Every county in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Prices submitted and verified by the community.
Users submit petrol and diesel prices they see at the pump. Freshness scores and confidence indicators show how current each price is.
Clustering, search by county, town, or brand. Filter by fuel type and price range. Find the cheapest fuel near you.
County averages, cheapest stations, price comparisons. See how your area compares to the national average.
Compare fill-up costs across stations based on your tank size. Know exactly how much you save.
No ads. No tracking. No data selling. This is a core principle, not a temporary state. FuelWatch exists to serve drivers, not advertisers.
The infrastructure is built. The political conversation has started. What happens next depends on how many people show up.
Join the platform keeping Ireland's fuel prices visible — until the law catches up. One payment. No ads. No subscriptions.
