The FuelPriceEscalator FPE was the practice of automatically increasing hydrocarbon oil duty better known as fuel tax in the United Kingdom ahead of inflation.

After gaining power in 1997, the rate of increase was raised by the Labour government to 6 per year.

A fuel Hedge finance hedge contract allows a large fuel consuming company commits to establish a fixed or capped cost via a commodity swap or option. Large fuel consuming companies enter into hedging contracts to mitigate their exposure to future fuel prices that may be higher than current prices and or to establish a known fuel cost for budgeting purposes. If a large fuel consuming company buys a fuel swap and the price of fuel declines, the company will effectively be forced to pay an above market rate for fuel. If a large fuel consuming company buys a fuel call option and the price of fuel increases, the company will receive a return on the option that offsets their actual cost of fuel. If a large fuel consuming company buys a fuel call option, which requires an upfront premium cost, much like insurance, and the price of fuel decreases, the company will not receive a return on the option but they will benefit from buying fuel at the then lower cost.
