The President of the Union of oil and gas (DPR) Gennadiy Shmal posted by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin a letter, informing him that, in his view, a "fair" price of gasoline should be two times less than it is now. According to the DPR, a liter of fuel at the Russian STATIONS should cost no more than $ 15. Most of the current plants were built either before the war or immediately after it. To date, almost all processing of production are outdated and in need of modernization. Americans get out of one ton of oil 420 litres of petrol, and we are only 140. Hence the high fuel prices. Union of oil experts have calculated that the typical Russian family a year spends about 10 percent of their income on gasoline. And in Europe, spending no more than 2 percent. "The prices today are highly social. It is not the shortage of fuel, which took place in April. It should be quite capable of: in a country that produces most of the world's oil, to create a shortage of gasoline, "said Gennady Shmal. In addition, the head of the Russian oil companies criticized the DPR. "As oil processing we ourselves lagging in the tail. Refining that we have is around 70-72 per cent in the developed countries has already reached 95-97%, writes Putin, Gennady Shmal. The other day President Vladimir Putin criticized oil companies for inefficiency. The oil companies have not fulfilled commitments to build deep oil refining volumes.
