The higher costs will impact smaller alliances/corps, making them use caps/supers even less than today. Small-gang BLOPS-drops will be more expensive, but given the expensive super-pimped targets I doubt the cost will affect these fleets much, the change in fuel-consumption WILL change it though - less capability to bridge fleets combined with harder logistics to get your BOBs back after a drop etc. So BLOP-activity will not decrease, but the fleets will require more pilots, both BOB-pilots and BR-pilots. Only the well-organized gangs with enough numbers of skilled pilots will do this.
Prices for the ordinary space-grunt in nullsec to get stuff out to home systems from Jita using JF-services will increase. This might be good, since it probably will increase the traffic using other means of transportations; Blockade Runners, using WHs from null to highsec etc. Gives more opportunities to hunt them and kill them. Nice! JF-services will have a decrease in business.
At the same time, the powerblocks will more or less not be affected by the change when it comes to moving large fleets of caps/supers/Titans. They can and will continue to project power all over the known EVE-universe whenever needed/wanted. At the same time, the "threats" to sov and structures/POSes will decrease, making the polarization of nullsec even more accentuated. The "rebells/freedomfighters/terrorists" like BL, Pasta etc will not have the same impact on the power blocks. This is bad, since many guud-fights will never happen. Decrease in content imminent?
So, I think the change is mostly counter-productive; changes should make it easier and give more incenvtives to smaller gangs to use their caps in anger. But as always, it also opens up new interesting possiblities.
I guess Darwins laws will sort all out; those best in adapting to new situations will prevail and prosper. The rest will receive the "Darwin awards" of EVE and go extinct.
