The cost of fuelling a car will rise after hikes to carbon tax on petrol and diesel in the budget.

Motorists are facing higher fuel bills this month, as petrol and diesel prices edge up again.

The latest AA Ireland survey shows petrol rising by two cent to 1.72 a litre, while diesel is up one cent to 1.68, following the Budgets carbon tax increase.

The AA says the bigger pressure will come from higher home energy and EV-charging costs, as electricity prices climb heading into winter.
