The Consequences of Rising Oil Prices
Fuel prices
The relatively small increase in fuel prices in comparison to the crude oil price rise is mainly a result of the influence of excise and VAT, which together make up for approximately two-thirds of the total fuel price in the Netherlands. As a result, fuel prices will always increase and decrease at a lesser pace than the worldwide crude oil prices.
