Good news for drivers with foreign licence plates in Hungary: price of fuel falls!
Change language:
We have good news for those who are not eligible for official-priced fuel for one reason or another: fuel prices are finally going down, not up. The purchase price of fuel will be cheaper, which is why diesel and petrol will cost less for those who fill up at non-official prices.
After drastic increases, fuel prices have mainly moved in opposite directions in recent weeks, but on Wednesday, petrol and diesel will finally be cheaper.
Decrease in purchase prices which affects market prices
According to information from holtankoljak.hu, the purchase price of petrol and diesel will fall on Wednesday this week. This is expected to have an impact on the market price of fuel, so those who are not eligible to fill up at the official price of HUF 480 (EUR 1.19) can expect to pay a little less for fuel from the middle of week.
In the case of petrol, this means a gross decrease of HUF 5 (EUR 0.012) per litre, while the price of diesel oil will drop by HUF 15 (EUR 0.037) gross again (the price of diesel already got HUF 15 cheaper last Friday), according to holtankoljak.hu.
The changed prices
Thus, those who do not fill up at the official price of the HUF 480 set by the petrol price freeze in Hungary will see the changed average market prices at the pumps from Wednesday.
As a Hungarian would you be happy if when you arrived in Paris your hotel said ‘Ah you are from Hungary so your room is twice the normal price’? This is certainly totally against EU rules so no wonder petrol cashiers have been subject to abuse.
