Drivers expressed hope for the disappearance of queues at gas stations in Krasnodar.

In Krasnodar today, the authorities reported 88 functioning gas stations. Cheap gasoline has appeared not only at the large network stations but also at small gas stations, which has reduced the queues for fuel, drivers reported.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on September 25, the authorities reported 79 functioning gas stations in Krasnodar, and users of the network noted that it is extremely difficult to find 95-octane gasoline at them. The Krasnodar office of the FAS initiated cases against five owners of gas station networks for violating antimonopoly legislation due to a sharp rise in retail fuel prices.

As of the morning of October 11, there are 88 gas stations operating in the city of Krasnodar, the Municipal Management Center of Krasnodar reported today on its TG channel.

Available: AI-92 — at 49 gas stations, AI-95 — at 45 gas stations, AI-100 — at 13 gas stations, DT — at 82 gas stations.

According to the authorities, the gas stations of "Rosneft", "Lukoil", "Gazprom", "Gazpromneft", "Rusoil", "Tatneft", and others are operating.

"At a number of gas stations, restrictions have been introduced by the owners — fuel is only poured into tanks. Another 18 gas stations temporarily do not dispense fuel, and 9 facilities are closed for repairs/rebranding," the message said.

Network users reported a reduction in queues for gasoline

A Krasnodar taxi driver pointed out the improvement in the situation in recent days.

"The situation with gasoline in Krasnodar and the Krasnodar region has surprisingly stabilized. Previously, gasoline was only available at large vertically integrated oil companies, at gas stations like 'Rosneft', for 70 rubles, and at some very small gas stations for 150 rubles per liter. And it is clear that 70 rubles means huge queues along the entire Kuban embankment, for example. But at 150 rubles — no queues at all. Now gas stations have opened where gasoline is available for 80 rubles, and for 92 and 95 rubles per liter of 95-octane. Accordingly, the queues where it is 70 rubles have significantly decreased, and starting from 85 rubles per liter — there are no queues at all. Outside Krasnodar along the M-4, gasoline is available everywhere, and there are practically no queues," quotes Yegor Ryabkov BFM Krasnodar.

His opinion was shared by commentators on the Telegram channel "Typical Krasnodar", the post received 24 comments.

"It is becoming more and more possible to refuel without a queue, though so far only on the highway..." noted Vladimir.

"Soon there will be no queues at all," expressed an optimistic forecast Anastasia.
