Motorina s-a scumpit din nou: la unele stații se apropie de 11 lei/litru

Diesel prices in Romania are nearing 11 lei per liter due to recent increases by OMV Petrom and Lukoil, influenced by international crises and reduced global stocks. On September 19, 2026, OMV Petrom raised diesel prices by 9 bani per liter, while Lukoil increased theirs by 7 bani. Prices at various stations are now close to the 11 lei mark, with factors such as the Middle East conflict and the war in Ukraine affecting supply. Additionally, the halt of oil supply through the East-West pipeline from Saudi Arabia has further pressured prices. Calls for using strategic reserves have emerged in response to these record increases, with concerns about potential protests similar to those seen in the past due to fuel price hikes.
