According to the information currently available to us, average retail fuel prices in Hungary were lower again on Thursday, 12 November 2026. These are unofficial figures, based on nationwide averages.

Gap between diesel and petrol
Diesel is still more expensive than petrol, but the gap has narrowed. It stands at 105 forints per litre (≈ 0.29 €), compared with 109 forints (≈ 0.30 €) on Wednesday.
Market-based pricing
In Hungary, fuel prices are set according to market conditions, so there is no fixed day of the week for price changes. Suppliers and petrol stations adjust prices frequently, most often after changes in wholesale prices.
From 10 March 2026, a protected price applied to vehicles with Hungarian registration plates, with a cap of 595 HUF/l (≈ 1.63 €) for 95 petrol and 615 HUF/l (≈ 1.68 €) for diesel. Parliament abolished it on 23 June 2026, after market prices fell below the capped level. Market prices have applied again since then, while the reduced excise duty on fuel has remained in force.
