Why petrol and diesel prices have risen and will they come back down?

It's mid 2022 and petrol and diesel prices have gone up a lot. Why is petrol and diesel expensive at the moment? Does the cost of crude oil affect the price of petrol and diesel? Will prices come down soon? What is the long term outlook for the availability of petrol (gasoline) and diesel? My predictions in this video are purely a guess based on information that I have access to. No one knows what will actually happen.
