Moscow gas stations bring back fuel sales limits
At least two gas station chains in Moscow have brought back limits on fuel sales, the Russian business news outlet RBC reported.
Two gas station chains in Moscow have reintroduced limits on fuel sales, according to the Russian business news outlet RBC. Gazprom Neft initially informed customers they could purchase up to 40 liters of fuel per person, but later clarified the limit was 60 liters. Tatneft stated customers can buy up to 50 liters of gasoline and up to 60 liters of diesel.
The city is currently experiencing a shortage of AI-95 gasoline, with only one Neftmagistrali station in Moscow having the fuel available as of August 18, as reported by the company's hotline to RBC. Fuel sales restrictions in Moscow started in June, implemented by companies such as Tatneft, Rosneft, and Lukoil. The restrictions were temporarily lifted but were reinstated early in August amid a second wave of Russia's fuel crisis.
According to Izvestia, as of August 16, gasoline and diesel fuel were only available at 28% of Russian gas stations. Russian Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev confirmed fuel is available at stations but admitted lines are forming at filling stations.
