Price of filling up 'set to increase'
The cost of filling up a tank of petrol in a garage forecourt is set to increase in the coming months, it has been reported.
Petrol prices have been going up since last year, when a 93.98p amount was recorded, according to the Daily Express.
The publication added that prices are set to increase to the point where filling up a vehicle is to cost around £84 a time.

It may be that this is a most unwelcome extra amount in addition to car and motorbike insurance costs, as well as the price of road tax for drivers.
Ann Robinson from consumer website uSwitch.com remarked that the outlook for motorists in the UK is "bleak".
"This latest blow could be enough to force some drivers off the road altogether...Cash-strapped customers are juggling price increases across all fronts," commented the official.
Meanwhile, the strike at Scottish oil refinery Grangemouth may be set to end shortly.
As a result, it may be that the demand for oil in the region eases, following a number of cases of queuing at forecourts.
