Portfolio has learned from sources close to the government that about 20% of passenger cars may be company-owned cars, which could mean about 800,000 cars. Since these cars can run more than average, consumption is affected to a greater extent by the measure.

According to the portal, the previous exclusion of foreigners and vehicles larger than 7.5 tons affected roughly a quarter of consumption. And so, with today’s announcement, the situation arose that fuel consumption in Hungary is approx. half can be sold at the market price, the other half at the official price of 480.

Thus, it may be in the interest of importers to bring fuel to Hungary and buy less from Mol, which is struggling with supply problems.
