Fuel: registered vs inspected

|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 86.9% | 81.8% |
| Petrol | 6.6% | 6.9% |
| Petrol + LPG | 6.5% | 11.3% |

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.
