If you're booking on a UK website you ought to be being shown the final price right from the start, and not just the base fare component of it. On some website you have to be a pretty dedicated small print reader to even see the base fare component.
Which airline was this? If the website's misleading, you could make a complaint. A certain Irish airline has been getting quite a lot of flak from the regulators about the fact that their website has not been very good at doing what it ought to do.

Fuel surcharges will always lag the cost of fuel on the way up, and on the way down. Passengers have selective perception about this.
And the answer to your question is yes: fuel surchages
are now starting to come down. Not every airline at the same time, but one at a time. SQ is the most high-profile recent reducer, but they were not the first in this round.
