The fuel crisis in Russia has pushed prices above 100 rubles per liter at small gas stations.
Due to a fuel crisis caused by Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, small private gas stations in Russia have begun selling gasoline at prices exceeding 100 rubles per liter (approximately $1.27), according to Reuters, cited by BTA. The shortage of fuel has led to a sharp increase in prices for gasoline and diesel across much of the country, particularly affecting southern regions, Siberia, and areas of Ukraine occupied by Moscow. Smaller players in the market had approached the 100-ruble threshold two weeks earlier but initially avoided crossing it due to technical limitations in displaying three-digit numbers. By June 30, updates allowed prices to reach between 120 and 140 rubles per liter. In contrast, large oil companies kept their prices close to pre-crisis levels, with AI-92 gasoline priced around 63–66 rubles per liter and AI-95 at 70–73 rubles. Industry representatives estimate that since May, Russian gasoline production has remained below domestic consumption, while diesel production roughly meets demand.

The article discusses the ongoing fuel crisis in Russia, highlighting that while annual shortages occur, this year's situation has worsened due to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil facilities. These attacks have led to supply disruptions, prompting regional governments to impose restrictions on fuel sales, such as limiting daily purchases to 30 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel. The crisis has sparked concern among citizens, with social media and media reports documenting long queues at gas stations. Public opinion surveys indicate growing awareness of the issue, and search trends show increased interest in fuel prices and availability. While some residents view the problem as manageable, experts warn that the situation could escalate ahead of the State Duma elections in September, especially if Ukraine continues its attacks.
