Why prices are rising
As predicted, petrol prices are climbing in April due to a global surge in oil prices over March. The increase is linked to ongoing regional conflicts and tensions, including the US-Israel-Iran situation. Many countries worldwide have already raised petrol costs in response to the spike.
Tips for drivers before the price hike
So if you’re planning to fuel up today, don’t be surprised by long queues at gas stations. With prices on the rise, many are rushing to fill up… or maybe it’s finally time to consider an electric car.
