Good news for drivers with foreign licence plates in Hungary: price of fuel falls!

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 result of the price change, petrol 95 will cost an average of HUF 778.9 (EUR 1.93) from Wednesday, while regular diesel will cost HUF 796.9 (EUR 1.98). For those entitled to official prices, this is still not applicable.

Previous events

Starting from Friday, 27 May, car owners with foreign licence plates can only purchase petrol at market prices. This means that, for more than a month now, Hungary has been using dual pricing at petrol stations. Evidently, it has caused a lot more trouble to both drivers and employees of petrol stations than one would have thought.

As we wrote in one of our articles, Gábor Egri, president of the Independent Petrol Stations Association said that there should be a credible examination at petrol stations of who is entitled to the official price and who is subject to the market price, but that is simply impossible to do.

Small petrol stations have especially been suffering, and members of staff have been subject to rude behaviour and abuse by angry and frustrated drivers.

    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.
