What does this mean for drivers in Romania?
Romania sits in the lower half of the EU ranking for petrol prices. Compared to the European average of approximately 1.70 EUR/litre, Romanian drivers pay about 7% more. The most expensive fuel in the EU is found in Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Finland) and the Netherlands, where fuel taxes represent over 60% of the final price.
The cheapest fuel in the EU is found in Bulgaria, Malta, Poland and Hungary, where excise duties are lower. The final pump price depends on the international Brent crude oil price (quoted in USD), the EUR/RON exchange rate, excise duty levels and the distributor's profit margin.
