The price of petrol is nearing 600 forints, while the price of diesel is still sky-high.
Fuel prices in Hungary have decreased, with gasoline averaging 602 HUF per liter, nearing the psychological 600 HUF mark. Diesel remains significantly more expensive, at 711 HUF per liter, creating a 109 HUF gap. This week, gasoline prices dropped by 9 HUF, while diesel fell by 10 HUF. However, international oil prices have risen again, with Brent crude increasing by 1.4% to $92.77 per barrel due to uncertainties surrounding the Iranian conflict and ongoing attacks near the Strait of Hormuz. Despite a surplus of gasoline in Europe, there is a shortage of diesel. The MOL refinery in Százhalombatta has resumed full operations after a year, aiding gasoline supply, but fuel prices in Hungary remain low, likely influenced by MOL's significant refining profits.
