>The cap is calculated using a formula based on average wholesale fuel prices in Poland, plus excise duty, a fuel surcharge, a fixed retail margin of 0.30 zloty (€0.08) per liter and value-added tax (VAT).
Could be worse. It is still not ideal, but I can see why they don’t want to let gas stations arbitrage and pocket the difference in lowered VAT and fuel surcharge.
