Goodreturns attributes the private hikes mainly to high crude prices, which it linked to the US-Iran conflict. Brent was above $103 a barrel at the time of that report.

- Delivery riders and drivers can save by filling at state-run pumps where prices are unchanged.
- Keep a note of your daily fuel cost. Even Rs 3-5 a litre adds up over a month for a rider covering long distances.
