The average cost for a litre of green diesel is just 51c, according to a fuel survey completed by the IFA.
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the resulting shutdowns across the world have seen the price of oil tumble, reaching negative figures at one point earlier this week.
The IFA survey was carried out last week starting 13 April and prices are likely to fall further.
Excluding Dublin, where the figures were based on a purchasing group, the survey found a difference of over 20c/l between the cheapest county and the most expensive.
In Wexford, the surveyed price was 64c/l, while in Cavan it was as low as 42c/l.
IFA farm business chair Rosemary McDonagh said savings could be as high as €180 on 1,000 litres of diesel.
Savings
“Although fuel prices will differ day to day, there are still savings to be made from shopping around,” McDonagh said.
On kerosene, the difference between counties was even greater at 23c/l
She added that some suppliers indicated that purchases in larger volumes tended to work out cheaper, particularly if paid for on the day.
On kerosene, the difference between counties was even greater at 23c/l.
Cavan was again the cheapest county at 33c/l, while Mayo was the most expensive at 56c/l.
The average price for a litre of kerosene was 44c/litre.
