Fuel: registered vs inspected
| Fuel | Registered | Inspected |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 38.4% | 38.1% |
| Petrol | 49.6% | 53.1% |
| Petrol + LPG | 3.9% | 8.3% |
| Petrol hybrid | 8.1% | 0.6% |
Registered means every passenger car (M1/M1G) in Regitra's register that is allowed in traffic, while inspected counts only the cars that came to a technical inspection, so new cars not yet due for one are underrepresented there.
