Gas Prices in Ireland?

Trying to decide what to do, rent a car or go by train... it would work better for us to rent a car but we need to know the cost of gas in Ireland before we decide on this. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

It's about 0.90 Euro / litre for petrol and 0.80 for diesel.<BR><BR>Mel.<BR><BR>A good site for European fuel prices is the UK's Automobile Association website: <BR>http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/fuel/motfue001.html

Better plan carefully if you decide to go by train. The rail system doesn't go to a lot of the charming towns and across some of the more scenic areas. You could always combine the two modes of travel. I would plan on renting a car at some point of your trip.

Currently EUR0.849 per litre at my local garage. Going by train is not a good idea, it's not that cheap and only the main towns and cities are served, more details at http://www.irishrail.ie The AA in Ireland also posts prices at http://www.theaa.ie or alternatively check out http://www.irishfuelprices.com

As others have said rail is only good to/from Dublin to other large towns. You can not easily go amongst other cities unless you head back towards Dublin. If you decide to forgo the car then make sure you use a bus/rail combo pass.
