OMV Petrom has cut fuel prices / Petrol is 9 bani cheaper, while diesel is 5 bani cheaper per litre

OMV Petrom cut the prices of standard petrol and diesel at Petrom and OMV stations on the afternoon of November 9. Petrol became 9 bani cheaper per litre, while diesel fell by 5 bani per litre, three days after a similar reduction in diesel prices. The changes are also visible at some competing networks.

In western Bucharest, petrol cost 9.78 lei per litre at Petrom, 9.84 lei at OMV and MOL, 9.93 lei at Rompetrol, and 9.79 lei at Lukoil and SOCAR. For standard diesel, prices were 10.81 lei at Petrom, 10.87 lei at OMV and MOL, 10.92 lei at Rompetrol, and 10.84 lei at Lukoil and SOCAR.

Other petrol stations are expected to apply the price cuts in the coming hours. The reductions come as the Government has extended the state of crisis on the crude oil and petroleum products market until January 31, 2027.

During the crisis, commercial markups are limited, price increases may be made at most once a day, and exports of diesel and crude oil require prior approval. A temporary mechanism for reducing the excise duty on standard diesel is also in effect.
