Shell to restrict fuel purchases in Hungary!

In its network of 191 gas stations in Hungary, Shell Hungary has introduced a restriction on the purchase of fuel at the ten stations most used by international freight traffic.

Stations next to the main transit routes are mostly affected

The ten selected stations are situated next to the main transit routes. The decision was justified by increased demands.

In the recent period, especially in recent weeks, due to the price cap on petrol prices introduced by the Hungarian Government, demand has increased dramatically, writes napi.hu. Compared to the same period last year, there was already a strong increase in turnover in January, and in February petrol stations expect a further increase as well.

The Hungarian government has capped the petrol price at HUF 480 (EUR 1.35), above which no higher price can be set. The measure was introduced on 15 November 2021 and then extended in February for 3 months, until 15 May 2022.

Cheaper fuel in Hungary than in neighbouring countries

Freight carriers and refuelers who purchase large batches of fuel have already started frequenting only the stations that are typically used by locals. The number of foreign passengers and truck customers has also increased significantly. Due to the introduced price cap and the market situation, the price of petrol is more expensive in many of the neighboring countries, such as Austria or Slovakia. Those crossing the country often refuel their buses or trucks in Hungary, causing significant problems for these gas stations. Many stations find it challenging to keep their business profitable until the price cap is in order, and some stations may close temporarily or permanently.

The number of intraday purchases is still not limited at these stations, only the one-time quantity that can be dispensed from the well column, says 444.hu. The measure affects less than 10 per cent of Shell’s network, with only motorway stations. The measure introduced on Tuesday is valid until revoked.

The stations involved are:

Székesfehérvár M7 highway A
Székesfehérvár M7 highway B
Tata M1 highway A

Gelej M3 highway A
Gelej M3 highway B
Lajosmizse East
