Fuel dispensing limits have been eased in North Ossetia.

In North Ossetia, the fuel limit for local residents has been increased to 50 liters, and for residents of other regions to 30 liters.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", earlier the head of North Ossetia, Sergey Menyaylo, instructed to send information about unjustified price increases for gasoline to law enforcement agencies if warnings from the regional FAS do not work on gas station owners. Social media users stated that officials and regulatory bodies should monitor gas station prices without residents' appeals.

Against the backdrop of stabilization in North Ossetia regarding fuel supplies, the authorities decided to increase fuel dispensing limits at gas stations, reported the Minister of Housing and Utilities, Fuel and Energy of the Republic Timur Karaev.

"The fuel dispensing limit has been increased: for residents of North and South Ossetia – from 40 to 50 liters; for residents of other regions and transit transport – from 20 to 30 liters," the Ministry of Housing and Utilities of North Ossetia quoted him on July 28 in its Telegram channel.

In another post, the ministry noted that as of this morning, there are queues at some gas stations. For instance, at the "Rosneft" gas station on Arkonsky Highway, about 40 vehicles have accumulated, and at the "Rosneft" gas station at the corner of Zortova and Titova streets in Vladikavkaz – about 30 vehicles.

Recall that on July 24, more than a quarter of gas stations in North Ossetia ran out of fuel. The authorities limited gasoline sales to residents of other regions to 20 liters per transaction, while residents of the republic could fill up to 40 liters in their cars.

The head of North Ossetia Sergey Menyaylo stated that fuel prices in the republic are twice lower than in Kabardino-Balkaria. However, social media users pointed out that the actual cost of fuel at local gas stations is much higher. They also complained about queues at gas stations and the lack of fuel in the evening.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that in the southern regions of Russia, due to the fuel crisis, drivers have started to massively convert their cars to gas, leading to long queues at auto repair shops. Analysts previously noted that the long wait forces motorists to turn to "gray" installers, who do not guarantee the safety of the equipment.

At the same time, analysts pointed out that the mass installation of gas equipment will not help overcome the fuel crisis, as the necessary infrastructure is still lacking.

Creating such infrastructure in a short time is impossible, said the deputy general director of the National Energy Institute Alexander Frolov. "However, the current crisis is a good reason to remember the programs that already exist but are developing much slower than planned," he noted.

The leading analyst of the National Energy Security Fund Igor Yushkov suggested that the mass transition of drivers to gas will not become a long-term trend. In his opinion, after the gasoline issue is resolved and queues at gas stations disappear, the excitement around gas equipment installation will decline.
