The government has now also introduced a cap on wholesale fuel prices at 480 HUF/liter (1,27 EUR/liter). The reason given was that the petrol station leaseholders should still not be expected to sell petrol and diesel below the purchase price. The measures also include a reduction in excise duty on fuel from HUF 5 (EUR 0,01) per liter for gas station tenants. At the same time, the government is sticking to the retail fuel price freeze that was introduced in mid-November. This is initially valid until May 15, 2022.
