Why fuel prices change in Japan
Fuel prices in Japan move with global Brent and WTI benchmarks, but local policy determines how quickly global changes pass through to pump rates.
Japan's fuel costs depend heavily on imports and yen strength, so exchange-rate shifts matter. Because fuel is part of transport and logistics cost, retail inflation often follows large petrol or diesel moves.
Current model: Weekly benchmark updates. Authority: METI + retail stations. This is why neighboring countries can post very different prices even on the same day.
