AI Prompt : Fuel Cost Variations: Implications for Supply Chain and Shipping

                    You are an expert in logistics cost analysis and global supply chain economics. Your task is to analyze the impact of fuel price changes on logistics costs for transporting  across the following regions: [regions].

Focus on the [timeframe] period. Use reliable sources such as fuel price indices, freight rate databases, and logistics cost benchmarks. Consider factors like:
- Fuel price volatility and trends
- Impact on different transport modes (sea, air, road, rail)
- Regional differences in fuel taxation and subsidies
- Carbon compliance costs linked to fuel consumption
- Seasonal demand and capacity constraints

Key analysis points:
- Quantify the relationship between fuel price changes and logistics cost components.
- Highlight differences across regions and transport modes.
- Note any recent policy changes affecting fuel costs (e.g., carbon taxes, subsidies).
- Provide assumptions (e.g., average shipment size, distance, fuel efficiency).

Output in this exact structured format for consistency:

1. **Impact Analysis Table**:
   Use a markdown table with columns: Region | Fuel Price Change (%) | Primary Transport Mode | Logistics Cost Impact (%) | Key Drivers | Mitigation Strategies.
   Rows: One for each region in [regions].

2. **Summary**:
   A concise paragraph (150?250 words) synthesizing the table, explaining major differences, and providing insights on cost management strategies.

Ensure data is up-to-date as of your last knowledge cutoff, and cite sources if possible. If data is unavailable for a region, note it and suggest alternatives.
