Motorists in Hungary Now Pay Less at Pump Than in Neighbouring Countries
Hungarian motorists continued to pay less at the pump in November than in neighbouring countries, the National Economy Ministry said.

The price of petrol in Hungary averaged HUF 572/litre during the month, HUF 3 under the average in neighbouring countries, the ministry said, citing data compiled from the EU weekly Oil Bulletin by the Central Statistics Office (KSH).

The average price of diesel was HUF 589/litre, HUF 5 below the average in neighbouring countries.

Hungary's government earlier said it would intervene if motor fuel prices exceeded the average in neighbouring countries.
