The unsteady situation on the oil market in Russia has led to a significant rise in the price of automobile fuel. The differences between the independent players and the networks of major oil workers even in one region can reach from 1.5 to 3 rubles, Vedomas said. According to the Moscow Fuel Association (MTA), the average price of AI-92 per litre at the beginning of the week was 25.76 rubles. (+ 0.05% last week) The difference between the minimum and maximum fuel prices in the capital may be RUB 2.3. It is cheaper to fill in the petrol stations of large oil companies, and the independent players are more expensive. The difference in prices is also observed in other regions. In Samara, the difference in prices for Ai-92 from independent players and gas stations of large oil workers-3 rubles. In the city of Nizhniy Novgorod, the city's Nizhny Novgorod region is RUB 11,500. In the Rostov region and the Altai region, the difference is 30 and 50. respectively. Experts say that the price break began in February, when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin advised oil workers to lower the price of gasoline inside Russia. The council was heard, but the volume of shipments to independent players fell significantly. Sources say that there are problems with the supply of fuel from Lukoil companies and TNK-BP. In particular, they have to buy petrol for 5,000-6000 rubles. The price of a tonne is more expensive than the networks of large companies. Many now, in the hope of better times, have to bargain at a loss. At present prices, the fair price at the petrol stations should have been RUB 28. Vice President of the Voronezh Fuel Association Pavel Parino believes. But in order to keep prices at a competitive level, it accounts for 26.9 rubles. In St. Petersburg, it is increasingly being said that the city will soon be facing a real gasoline crisis. Visitors to Internet resources say that 95 petrol stations have already finished in some petrol stations, and the situation may worsen next week. A number of Moscow's refuels also fuel a fuel shortage for certain positions. The prices are gradually but steadily rising. Experts predict that at this rate by autumn the cost of AI-92 may reach 40 rubles. Recall that the price of AI-92 in Tuwe was recorded at 50 rubles. per litre.
