România, printre țările în care un plin de carburant depășește 10% din salariul minim. Cu cât a crescut prețul carburanților în Europa după izbucnirea războiului din Iran • Economie Biz Brasov

Fuel prices in Europe have surged significantly due to the Iran conflict and Middle Eastern tensions, with gasoline rising by 27.8% and diesel by nearly 40% from February to September. For minimum wage earners in Romania, the impact is severe, as filling a 50-liter tank of gasoline now costs 11.5% of the gross minimum wage, while diesel costs 12.7%. The average price of gasoline in the EU increased from €1.637 to €2.092 per liter, while diesel rose from €1.594 to €2.226. Countries with lower minimum wages, like Romania, face a heavier burden compared to those with higher wages, such as Luxembourg, where fuel costs represent a much smaller percentage of income. This disparity highlights the financial strain on low-income individuals in the face of rising fuel costs.
