PETROL prices could hit as high as €2.10 per litre in the coming weeks as the cost of living crisis continues to batter suffering families.

Prices at the pumps are set to hit a record high as the war in Ukraine continues to push up costs across the globe.

Just last year petrol prices were as low as €1.20 per litre but now they are set to increase yet again.

Speaking to the Irish Mirror, car expert Mark Noble, who runs the YouTube channel Nobby On Cars said prices are only going to get worse.

He said: "The oil companies are a cartel, they decide the price and have no competition. That's the problem.
