Lovitură dură, pentru șoferi. Dacă carburanții s-au scumpit cu 40%, prețul uleiului de motor s-a dublat • Newsweek România

Drivers are facing significant challenges as fuel prices have risen by 40% and motor oil prices have doubled due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict. The price of quality motor oil has surged from around 10 euros per liter to over 20 euros, leading to increased maintenance costs. Retailers like Costco have implemented purchase limits and raised prices, reflecting a strained market for oil-derived products. The Brent crude oil price has exceeded $109 per barrel, influenced by geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions, including Saudi Arabia's closure of a key oil pipeline. This situation has resulted in refineries prioritizing fuel production over base oil, further exacerbating the motor oil supply crisis.
