The average price of petrol, diesel and home heating oil was largely unchanged across Northern Ireland this week, but road users here are paying well below their counterparts in Britain.
The latest weekly fuel tracker survey from the Consumer Council suggests prices at northern forecourts remained stable throughout much of March.
Diesel averaged £1.478 per litre in Northern Ireland over recent days, while the average price of petrol was £1.393 per litre.
The difference on the previous week was 0.1p in either direction in both cases.
An official government survey published this week by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero in London put the average price of diesel in Britain at £1.5381 per litre, while unleaded petrol averaged £1.4473.
The latest available survey from the Republic, put the average price of diesel at €1.717 (£1.4708) during February.
The survey, carried out by the AA put the average petrol price at €1.71 (£1.4648) last month.
Elsewhere, the average price of 500 litres of home heating oil in Northern Ireland increased to £331.24 this week, according to the Consumer Council.
But oil prices remain at their lowest level since July 2023.
The average cost of 900 litres was £587.27, which last week aside, is the lowest price for home heating oil since July 2023.
