Petrol prices are affected by a global increase in crude oil prices, which have soared almost 50 percent to more than $100 a barrel since the beginning of 2022.
The on-going Russia-Ukraine conflict is one of the key reasons due to the increase, as Russia is one of the world’s largest exporters of oil.
