In Europe they can afford the higher energy and fuel costs.
I'm not so sure about that. The problem isn't that energy cost is rising in Europe, the main problem is that their economy is shrinking which means people no longer make the same amount of money as before and many of they are and will be losing their jobs.
They are already reporting "cost of living" crisis and some countries like UK some sources report that 20% of people can no longer afford food let alone pay their bills.
