Fleet card vs in-house tank

Above ~50,000 L/month total consumption, the comparison between card refueling (EuroShell, DKV, MOL Gold, OMV Card, Petrom Card) and an in-house bulk tank becomes relevant.

Fleet cards

Pros: 0.05-0.15 RON/L discount off pump price; centralized VAT reporting; per-driver/per-vehicle consumption control; pan-European network for international transport.
Cons: card issuance fees; monthly or per-transaction fees; the underlying network price may be above the national average.
Best for: 10-200 vehicle fleets, mixed urban/inter-urban, international transport.

In-house tank (own cistern or bulk delivery)

Pros: wholesale purchase direct from distributor, 0.20-0.50 RON/L below pump; full VAT control; refueling at night without queues.
Cons: initial investment ~80,000-200,000 RON for ANRE/ISCIR-certified cistern; regulatory burden (fire safety, ISO); inventory volatility risk.
Best for: >50 vehicle fleets with predictable routes, central depot, consumption >100,000 L/month.

Break-even point: beyond ~70,000 L/month total consumption, an in-house bulk tank saves 0.20-0.30 RON/L vs fleet card, so a 30+ truck fleet amortizes the investment in 18-30 months.

OUG 19/2026 impact on fleets

From 1 April – 30 June 2026, Romania's OUG 19/2026 caps the commercial markup of large networks to the previous monthly average. For fleets, this means:

Fleet card discounts are limited to baseline differentials — many companies report temporarily reduced discounts from 0.15 RON/L down to 0.07-0.10 RON/L.
In-house bulk tank remains favorable, but the distributor's margin is also adjusted — the differential remains broadly similar to pre-OUG levels.
After 30 June 2026, if the cap isn't extended, prices may swing ±0.10 RON/L quickly — large-volume fleets should re-engage card partners to reactivate usual discounts.
