€5-a-litre petrol in the pipeline for motorists, warns expert
The claim was made at a University of Limerick’s Science lecture series yesterday after a petroleum reserves expert Matthew Simmons warned that the world had allowed itself to drift into a benign energy war.
Another expert, Professor Austin Darragh, University of Limerick, said some predictions would suggest that oil could cost as much as €5 a litre before 2010.
