The increase in the retail price of petrol during the Suez crisis and its aftermath was 5d. per gallon but I am not aware if this increase was wholly attributable to the crisis. Owing to the price fluctuations since then I am not in a position to answer the second part of the question.
I thought Suez had no effect, according to Fianna Fáil.
