Limits on the sale of gasoline have been increased in the Volgograd region.

At Gazpromneft gas stations in the Volgograd region, limits on the sale of AI-92 have been lifted. The limit for AI-95 gasoline is 30 liters in the city and 50 liters on the highway. At Lukoil stations, 40 liters are still sold in the city and on the highway.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", police detained five people at a gas station in Volgograd who were recording a video message to the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, about the gasoline situation. Lawyer Alexey Sevastyanov was arrested for five days on July 17. After attempting to address Bastrykin, the authorities of the Volgograd region reported an increase in gasoline limits at Lukoil gas stations to 40 liters.

By July 7, more than half of the gas stations in Volgograd had been closed, and queues formed at all open gas stations. Authorities insist that fuel supplies are timely and sufficient, and that the crisis is caused by "artificial hype." On July 9, residents of the Volgograd region complained about a sharp rise in fuel prices. On July 10, drivers from Volgograd and the region reported long queues at gas stations and expressed their opposition to the Astrakhan system of selling gasoline on even and odd days depending on the car's number. In Astrakhan, despite the introduction of this system, drivers' problems worsened by July 14 - they reported having to wait hours in line for fuel, and that gasoline could run out in just a few hours.

The situation in the fuel market of the Volgograd region is stabilizing thanks to a set of measures taken, stated the committee for industrial policy, trade, and the fuel and energy complex of the Volgograd region.

According to the agency, the Gazpromneft gas station network has completely lifted restrictions on the sale of AI-92 gasoline. The limit for AI-95 gasoline is 30 liters per transaction in the city, 50 liters on the highway, and diesel fuel is sold at 60 liters in the city and 100 liters on the highway. At Lukoil gas stations, the maximum volume of gasoline sold in one transaction is 40 liters in the city and on the highway, and diesel fuel is sold at 60 liters in the city and 200 liters on the highway.

"To strengthen positive trends in the fuel market, drivers are asked to refuel their vehicles as needed and not to stock up in advance," the industrial committee emphasized.
