20% of petrol stations operated by the Hungarian oil and gas company MOL, basically the only supplier of petrol in the country due to the capped price situation, have been reported to experience partial stock shortages in recent days.
Stations in the capital and in the countryside were found to be out of 95-grade petrol or diesel. According to MOL, this has happened at one in five of their wells in recent days: “partial product shortages, typically lasting a few hours, have occurred in 20% of our network.”
They added that demand at their wells is one and a half times higher than a year ago.
According to the secretary general of the Petroleum Association, Ottó Grad, as long as you can buy fuel at a fixed price of HUF 480 per liter, you have to get used to this situation. The Prime Minister's Office said that from January 1 next year, they can only maintain the price caps under certain conditions.
