📍This, in turn, shifted consumer sentiment towards prioritising fuel availability over price, with many believing that obtaining fuel was more important than how much it cost. 📍Regarding the continued high retail fuel prices despite the decline in global crude oil prices, the explanation lies in the pricing strategy adopted by oil companies. 📍 When crude oil prices surged during the conflict, retail fuel prices were largely maintained at the existing level instead of being increased proportionately. 📍Now that international crude oil prices have eased, companies have chosen to keep retail prices unchanged in order to recover the financial losses incurred during the period of elevated crude prices. 📍This is the primary reason why fuel prices at retail outlets have not yet been reduced."
