The government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban has imposed a price cap until October to protect consumers from inflation.
In Hungary, filling stations owned by Hungarian MOL and Austrian OMV can now only buy 50 liters of fuel per day. This was reported by Reuters.
The government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban has imposed a price cap until October to protect consumers from inflation.
It was noticed that the MOL network split in half the initial fueling limit. The OMV chain said its 50-liter limit only applies to fuel sold at the discounted price introduced by the government since November.
MOL is calling for phased lifting of the price ceiling, which sets the retail price of 95 octane fuel and diesel at HUF 480 per liter.
According to MOL spokesperson Piroska Bacos, consumers who fill fuel canisters are no longer eligible to buy it at a discounted price.
OMV, which has nearly 200 filling stations in Hungary, also said it would charge the market price for fuel sold for jerry cans.
It was previously reported that the US could introduce subsidies for the purchase of fuel for the poor.
It will be recalled that the world does not expect a drop in fuel prices until 2024.
