De ce plătesc românii tot mai mult pentru benzină și motorină. Costul transportului petrolului a crescut de aproape 10 ori

The rising fuel prices in Romania are significantly influenced by the skyrocketing maritime transport costs of crude oil, which have surged nearly tenfold to around $25 per barrel. This increase accounts for over 60 bani of the fuel price hikes, driven by conflicts in the Middle East and the Black Sea region. The cost of transporting oil has become a major factor for refineries, with transport now representing nearly a third of the crude oil price. Additionally, the final fuel prices are affected by crude oil quotations, exchange rates, taxes, and distribution costs, putting further pressure on refineries to manage higher procurement expenses.
