România are cea mai ieftină benzină din zonă. Până când statul ajunge la pompă

Romania has the cheapest gasoline before taxes in the region, but the highest pump prices due to significant taxes. The analysis reveals that taxes account for over 50% of the final price, with VAT applied on top of excise duties. This results in consumers paying more at the pump despite lower pre-tax costs compared to neighboring countries. The state benefits the most from these high prices, as the tax burden outweighs the commercial costs of gasoline production and distribution. Thus, the high prices are primarily a result of fiscal policies rather than market conditions.
