the rise in energy costs caused by demand supply? well the supply of gas or lack of it coming from russia, as a result of sanctions, so logically sanctions have pushed up the price of gas for the uk,is it a co incidence the price of oil has gone up as well,according to the guardian
Why are fuel prices so high?

The average cost of petrol hit a record 191.53p a litre on Sunday, while diesel is 199.03p and, in some places, above £2 a litre. Fuel prices have risen this year as the cost of crude oil, used to produce petrol and diesel, has jumped.

The price of crude collapsed during the pandemic as travel restrictions punctured demand. That demand has since largely returned. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated the situation as various western countries shun Russian oil.
