Impact on consumers
Fuel prices have a direct effect on transportation costs.
When petrol becomes more expensive, people who rely on motorcycles and cars can face higher daily travel expenses.

At the same time, the latest diesel price Pakistan hike could have a wider impact because diesel is commonly used by buses, trucks and commercial vehicles.
Transport costs can eventually influence the prices of goods moved from one city to another.
