I would be surprised if the distribution cost of petrol was more than 2% of the pump price. Quick googling gives numbers of around 2p/litre, around 5 years ago. That's total distribution costs, not just driver pay.
This suggests that doubling the pay of the truck drivers would make a much less than 2% increase in pump prices.
