LPG nears 18 lei per litre, about a quarter of filling stations have none
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has climbed to almost 18 lei per litre at the country’s largest filling station network, according to ecarburanți data for 1 November. Prices of 17.00–17.20 lei remain at only 4–5 of roughly 600 stations, and nearly a quarter of stations, including two of the five big networks, have no LPG on sale.
The cause is strong regional demand and a tight European market: in Poland, small wholesale lots of propane-butane rose to USD 1,235–1,300 per tonne by late October, up from USD 1,060–1,115 in mid-month. Moldova imports LPG mainly from Romania (about 54% in H1 2026) and Egypt (23.4%). LPG accounts for only about 5% of total fuel consumption.
For 3 November, ANRE set maximum prices of 31.40 lei/l for COR 95 petrol (−11 bani) and 36.28 lei/l for diesel (+12 bani). Since 1 October petrol is down 2.82 lei, while diesel is back to the same level.
What it means for you
- If your car runs on LPG, check availability before a trip and budget for a higher price.
- Taxi and delivery firms with LPG fleets face higher fuel costs in November.
- For diesel fleets, the price is where it was in early October.
