Russian gas stations have introduced limits on gasoline sales under the new rules
In the Orenburg Region of the Russian Federation, restrictions on fuel sales were introduced on August 12 due to a gasoline shortage. For AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline, a limit of 15 to 30 liters per person has been set, while diesel fuel can be purchased in quantities of up to 60 liters in populated areas and up to 200 liters at highway gas stations.
Private vehicles are now refueling according to the “even-odd” system: on even-numbered days, fuel is sold to cars with license plates ending in an even number, and on odd-numbered days, to cars with license plates ending in an odd number. For example, on August 12, cars with license plates ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 may refuel, and on August 13, those ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.
Gas stations have also been prohibited from filling fuel into jerry cans. For AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline, a limit of 15 to 30 liters per person has been set; for diesel fuel, the limit is up to 60 liters in populated areas and up to 200 liters at highway gas stations.
Russian authorities explain the restrictions as necessary to ensure fuel supplies for emergency services and public transportation.
