Novak says it would take Europe more than a year to replace the volume of oil it receives from Russia and added that Russia…

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: Like other Saudi women, Fahda Fahd couldn''t legally drive until 2018, but her lime-green Kia is now a route to extra cash as living costs rise in the conservative kingdom. When she''s not working full time at a health care call center, the 54-year-old picks up fares in the capital Riyadh from a ride-hailing app exclusively for women. Fahd said her family was supportive of her second job, on two conditions: no long trips or men as passengers. "I decided to work as a taxi driver to earn extra income," said Fahd, wearing a black head covering and an anti-coronavirus face mask. "My salary is not enough for my three children and especially for my daughter who has special needs," she told Agence France-Presse (AFP). Sweeping social reforms, including lifting the infamous ban on women driving, have transformed life for many Saudis, but rising costs are increasingly problematic. Fahd says her salary of 4,000 Saudi riyals ($1,066) a month from her regular job is not enough — but driving brings in another 2,500 riyals.

The price of petrol bottomed out in early 2020 during Aotearoa’s first lockdown, but in just two years it’s shot up to over $3 a litre – the highest it’s ever been. The Detail looks at why. The price of petrol keeps going up and up, and it''s unlikely to get better any time soon. Infometrics principal economist Brad Olsen says there''s no single reason why we''re paying more to fill up our cars - and it can depend on factors such as taxes, rebounding economic activity and shortages caused by Russia''s invasion of Ukraine. What makes up the price of petrol we pay at the pump? About half of what you pay for a litre of petrol is derived from taxes, Olsen says. “You’ve got a few of them: the fuel excise duty, which is charged on every litre of fuel. “You’ve got the likes of the local authority fuel tax – in Auckland you’ve got the regional fuel tax – you’ve got GST and you’ve also got the emissions trading scheme, and that’s risen to be about six-odd percent of the total cost of fuel.” About 40 percent of the price of a litre of petrol comes from importers buying the actual product, crude oil, and shipping and transport costs, while about 10 percent is the margin retailers make.
