Petrol prices go sky high
Petrol prices have risen to more than £1 a litre for the first time this week.
The rise to just under 101p on Tuesday was an increase of more than 17 per cent on last year, when a litre cost just 86p, according to the AA.
In the past two months drivers have seen a steep climb in prices due to an increase in the global price of crude oil. A barrel of crude oil was reported at $97 (£46) yesterday.
