Suspiciuni de lăcomie la pompă, controale în benzinării. Românii dau pe un plin aproape 9% din salariul mediu

Concerns arise over fuel price hikes in Romania, with the Competition Council investigating potential unjustified increases by distributors. Current prices for diesel and gasoline are nearing 11 and 10 lei per liter, respectively, leading to significant financial strain on drivers. The government plans to implement a dynamic excise tax, but reductions are not expected until August 16. Experts express skepticism about the effectiveness of these measures, as prices continue to rise daily. Comparatively, Romanians spend a larger percentage of their average salary on fuel than citizens in other European countries.
