Benzina şi motorina mai scumpe decât la toţi vecinii

Romania has the highest fuel prices among neighboring countries despite significant domestic oil production. The average prices for gasoline and diesel exceed EU averages, primarily due to high taxes. This situation affects the competitiveness of Romanian transport companies, leading many to refuel in cheaper neighboring countries. Additionally, rising fuel prices contribute to inflation, impacting consumer goods and food prices. Romania relies on both domestic extraction and imports for its fuel supply, with major distributors including Petrom and Rompetrol.
