Unleaded petrol Ireland, like many other countries, is becoming concerned about its environment and about the effects of pollution. For this reason, the use of unleaded petrol is being promoted and motorists whose vehicles are suitable are strongly encouraged to use it. Like in Britain, each petrol station sets its own prices for petrol. Prices may vary but the average would tend to be around the following figures. Premium leaded 66.9p per litre, diesel 56.9p per litre, super unleaded 66.9p per litre and regular 60.9p per litre.
