Yes market forces have played a part in increasing fuel prices
But so has government fuel taxation, every time the price goes up the government gets more money as a great deal of the taxation is percentage based
Market forces put up the price a bit then the government compound the issue with taxation based on percentages of price which is fair enough in most instances but not in the case of fuel because the increase in fuel prices hits everyone, it puts the price of every commodity up which again are taxed on a percentage.
At the end of the day, there's only one winner in all that and its the government, whichever flavour of shite it happens to be.
The only other guarantee is that the government will waste a vast proportion of the money on the tools of war like trident, yeah like we needed an independent nuclear deterrent in this day an age
