No. The government don't just jack up prices for the hell of it.
If you think about it, how much does fuel get used for pretty much everything you buy? Wether it be transporting it to the shop you buy it from or used for the manufacture of the product, it's used a lot! Cost of fuel is going up as we're running out, price of the products go up! If the companies absorbed the cost of the fuel price rise, eventually they would all start to go bust leaving more and more people signing on, meaning more payouts from the government meaning they have to find that money from somewhere! It's one big vicious circle really!
