Huge change in fuel prices to come in Hungary

The fall in fuel prices seen in recent weeks could be lasting. This was revealed to Index by Eszter Bujdos, head of holtankoljak.hu. According to her, for oil-producing countries, this price level of around USD 80 can be appropriate.

According to the latest figures, the average price of petrol in Hungary is 616 forints per litre, while the average price of diesel is 624 forints. (We have reported on the lates fuel price change here.) This means that there are already petrol stations where the price of fuel fell below HUF 600, Index writes.

Fuel prices to keep decreasing

Eszter Bujdos, head of holtankoljak.hu, told Index that the trends show that fuel prices have been steadily decreasing in recent weeks. What is more, cheaper and automated petrol stations are already seeing the long-awaited price level. This is also surprising, Bujdos said, because earlier, the international and domestic market expected the new sanctions on Russia to have a price-lifting effect. However, this seems to have been delayed for the time being.
