**Factors Affecting Fuel Prices in India**:
1. **Global Crude Oil Prices**: Fluctuations in crude oil prices are the primary determinant for fuel prices.
2. **Exchange Rate**: The strength of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar directly impacts fuel costs, especially since India imports a large portion of its crude oil.
3. **Taxes**: Central and state-level taxes make up a significant part of the fuel price, which is why rates vary across states.
4. **Refining Costs**: The process of refining crude oil into petrol and diesel impacts the final price.
5. **Demand-Supply**: Higher demand can push prices up, while supply adjustments can help balance prices.
