Petrol, commonly known as mogas, is primarily used by private vehicles, motorcycles, and rickshaws, with price fluctuations having a significant impact on middle and lower-middle-class households. High-speed diesel, which is widely used in trucks, buses, trains, and agricultural equipment, directly affects the transport sector and can drive up the prices of essential goods such as vegetables and food items.
