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.
