Petrol prices set to soar over 100c

PETROL prices are set to increase in the run up to the summer despite a slight easing in crude prices yesterday on the world markets.

Automobile Association (AA) spokesman in Ireland Conor Faughnan last night warned the average cost of a litre of petrol will be up to over 100 cent per litre by June against the current March average of 95.9c.

That's up from 94.8c in January.
