Temporary fuel tax cuts expire at midnight, and prices are expected to rise. Farmers and private citizens are now filling their tanks to secure fuel before the increase takes effect.
One farmer has already stockpiled 4,500 liters. The move comes as both agricultural operations and households rush to beat the deadline.
The tax relief, introduced as a temporary measure, ends tonight. After that, fuel costs will climb, adding pressure to farming budgets and personal transport expenses.
Authorities have not announced any extension to the tax cuts. Those who can store fuel are doing so now, while others face the full impact of the price hike from tomorrow morning.
