Why can petrol and diesel become expensive?

The main reasons for this are being attributed to fluctuations in international crude oil prices and global economic uncertainty following the Iran War and the Hormuz Crisis. Oil companies have long been pressing for price increases to cover their losses. While no official announcement has been made by the government yet, sources say this decision could be taken at any time.

When petrol and diesel prices rise, it doesn't just affect drivers, but everyone, from those who operate agricultural pumps to delivery boys, is affected. This means the price of every commodity increases.

Fuel prices have been stable for some time, providing some relief to the public. But this potential increase will only add fuel to the fire of inflation. If you're looking to fill your tank, now might be the right time.
