Shell Further Limits Fuel Sales in Hungary
Due to its limited supply received, Shell began limiting its fuel sales to Ft 20,000 per vehicle for petrol and to Ft 50,000 for diesel from Friday, the company announced.

Some selected filling stations on motorways are exempt from this measure, the oil company added.

Television channel RTL found one Shell filling station where the petrol supply ran out.

According to an expert of filling station monitoring website Holtankoljak, Shell stations receive fuel on a monthly basis, so if it runs out, they will not receive any more that month.

MOL said it is delivering 15-20% more fuel to its partners than in normal periods, and is also buying fuel from abroad.
