IMHO :

1) As 95% of delivery lorries are diesel, diesel will be around for a long time, as there is no practical alternative.
2) In order to control delivery costs and hence inflation, I suspect the government will TRY to limit diesel prices.
Petrol drivers will be pushed to electric and hybrids.
3) Fuel prices will go higher, until the Ukraine war ends (probably) sometime next year. Unless Russia collapses first.
4) Road taxes will really start to rise for those older cars with higher emissions.
