Man, sit down and hold on tight, 'cause I've got news that'll make you check your wallet before you even think about filling up! From July 1, that's next Tuesday, gasoline and diesel could skyrocket like crazy, because those margin cap measures expire and the Interim Government can't extend them. What can I say, bro, it's like you're at Fane's pump watching the price jump right before your eyes, and you're left with your hand in your pocket.

Listen up, here's the deal. About three months ago, in March, the Bolojan government issued an emergency ordinance that capped fuel distributors' margins and declared a state of crisis on the oil market until June 30. The measure was valid until the end of June, with the possibility of extension every three months if the crisis continued. And surprise! The Middle East is still boiling, and crude oil prices are jumping like a doped-up kangaroo. But here comes July 1, and because of the political chaos, no one can extend the measures, since the Executive is interim and can't issue new ordinances. Man, what madness! We pay, they go about their campaigns.

Now, sources from ProTV News say there might be a solution: push a bill through Parliament on the very last day of the session, i.e., June 30. But who's gonna vote for it? MPs go on vacation on July 1, and there's no sign of a new government. It's like going to Fane's terrace and saying, "Fane, give me a beer on credit until the crisis is sorted!" Well, Fane would kick you out.

Let me break it down for you. The March ordinance, besides capping margins at the 2025 average, also banned fuel exports without authorization and even reduced the biofuel content to lower prices. Deputy Prime Minister Tánczos Barna, when he issued it, said, "We prevent speculation" and "keep fuel in the country." But look, the speculation is coming from Bucharest, not the refineries.

The bill adopting the ordinance passed the Senate on April 20 and reached the Chamber of Deputies, but got stuck in committees. So, if nothing moves by Tuesday, the measures expire and the market is free. Then, pump prices will depend only on international quotes, supply costs, and how "friendly" the distributors are. And we know how friendly they are, bro. Mioara already said, "If gas prices go up, I'm cutting from your pocket."

For now, I'm going to fill up before the price jumps. You do the same, 'cause after July 1, we'll be crying tears of diesel.
