Another factor to consider is that increases to fuel prices means goods transport across the country also become more expensive as operators seek to recover the increases by again passing these on to consumers. This is because many people rely on public transport which, if the price of fuel increases, will need to recover scott levy fuel costs by passing them on to consumers.
