I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of litres of petrol and diesel that were sold in the state in the past five years is not available. However, the number of litres of petrol and diesel where mineral oil tax was paid in the calendar years 2007 to 2011 is as follows:
Year | Petrol | Auto Diesel |
---|---|---|
- | Litres | Litres |
2007 | 2,377,727,280 | 3,025,245,030 |
2008 | 2,310,695,880 | 2,959,932,690 |
2009 | 2,117,044,957 | 2,714,349,687 |
2010 | 1,930,179,524 | 2,559,664,467 |
