Increased air travel
Increased last minute shipping due to supply chain issues.
Some South American countries are still subsidizing diesel
Until recently I had not seen diesel more than 91 octane gasoline. Today near me:
$5.35 87 gasoline
$5.65 91 gasoline
$6.19 Diesel

How do you explain the price oil, gasoline, diesel going up months prior to the invasion?
And if you look at a price chart the invasion appears to have had little to no impact on prices. It was going up months before and it's kept going up since.
When the war is over and prices are still going up then what you going to blame it on?
