fuel surcharges
Extra petroleum costs
Fuel surcharges are additional fees added to transportation costs to account for fluctuating fuel prices.
Airlines, shipping companies, and freight carriers use them to pass volatile energy costs to customers without constantly repricing base rates: The delivery fee doesn't include fuel surcharges.
Critics note these charges often persist even when fuel prices drop.
