Oil prices are falling, the ruble is getting cheaper

What is happening with gasoline in the regions - our own sobs are checked

Ural. The buckwheat is canceled

At a gas station in Yekaterinburg, everything is calm. There is not even a queue. The refueling Sergey, fragrant “after yesterday”, discusses the price of gasoline: “Why should she grow? The price of oil has fallen. Bax flew up ... Everyone joked, they say, now is the time to reduce the price of fuel. But I will honestly tell you: there were promotions, but I definitely did not see the reduction. ”

The last tangible increase in gasoline price occurred in October 2019. Since then, it lasts at about the same level. The 92nd costs 42.30–43.54 rubles, the price of the 95th varies between 44.35–45.59. If you look at the price tag of taxi drivers, the main litmus paper of the fuel market, then it has not changed.

“Prices are not very different from each other, everyone is holding about the same level,” said Gennady Burlutsky, chairman of the Sverdlovsk branch of the public organization Union of Motorists. -The most popular gasoline of the 92nd costs around 40 rubles per liter. The 95th is less popular, of course. It all depends on the brand of the car, and our people drive for the most part on modest cars. There are all types of gasoline at gas stations, recently there has never been information that there were any problems with supplies. We also do not observe queues and excitement either. I don’t know how the situation with coronavirus will affect the gasoline market. Yesterday I came to the store, and there they dismantled all the buckwheat. Will there be the same with gasoline? Don't know.

Gasoline, of course, is not buckwheat. And how to reserve its residents of apartment buildings for the future? It is unrealistic even if desired. Although I still met one motorist with a canister at a gas station.

- Do I make stocks? No, of course, ”the driver answered irritably. - The wife recently received rights. It is now at the shopping center in a stalled car. Save her food ...

Vladivostok. Prices froze

Serious movements in one direction or another in the fuel market of Vladivostok have not yet been observed. Reducing prices has not been noted anywhere; However, hardly one of the local motorists expected such an unnatural event. On the contrary, the increase in fuel prices is recorded, but insignificant, long -familiar and generally not knocking out of the trend of recent years.

An increase in retail prices for fuel occurred in early March and amounted to an average of 40-50 kopecks per liter or 1 % (if you take the starting point of the beginning of February).

So, today in Vladivostok, AI-92 gasoline is available in prices in the range from 45 to 45.3 rubles, the 95th costs 46–46.7 rubles per liter, high-octane AI-98 is sold for 48.8–49.6. Diesel fuel costs the seller of 49.8-50.6 rubles per liter.

Omsk. Gas stations - stability islands

Since the summer of the year before last year - after violent emotions (when the prices for fuel jumped spontaneously by a dozen times, and then “frost” was announced) - the mood of the car owners in the Omsk region remain pacified. In 2019, the numbers at the gas station almost did not change, and on February 7 this year, a pleasant surprise for local motorists happened: the cost of the most popular AI-92 gasoline for unknown reasons decreased by 50 kopecks.

The joy was not so hot and did not last long: after two and a half weeks, on February 24, at the same gas stations - Gazpromneft and Toplane - gasoline of the same brand for the same 50 kopecks. He went up, returning to the initial price - 41 rubles 15 kopecks per liter. In social networks, commentators suggest that it was a "action on the Day of the Soviet Army."

The cheapest gasoline in Omsk is now at gas stations in UNIGAZ, which sells Lukoil products, 40 rubles. 97 kopecks.

Survived “new” motorists do not expect messages from gasoline producers due to a drop in oil prices “Economics in our country are arranged so that the cost of oil and oil products are in no way connected,” said 49-year-old entrepreneur Eugene.

“There was still no such thing that something has become cheaper for people,” says pensioner Sergei Alexandrovich. - Gasoline, communal apartment, travel in public transport ...

The dollar falls or grows, they always have falling income there because they steal a lot. ”

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Gasoline in Kamchatka rolled up eight times in a year

In 2019, the company NNK-Kamchatnefteproduct, the main supplier of car fuel in Kamchatka, changed the price tags at its gas stations eight times.

Naturally, towards the increase. As a result, the cost of gasoline increased by about 6 % - that is, higher than official inflation.

NNA occupies a dominant position in the fuel market of the region. The company supplies gasoline and diesel fuel from its oil refinery in Khabarovsk to the peninsula. In Kamchatka, it also belongs to the Soviet infrastructure of storage and transshipment of oil products, as well as approximately 30 % of gas stations operating in the region. The owners of the rest of the gas stations (at least most of them) united into the partnership of the "owners of the gas station Kamchatka." They are forced to buy fuel in bulk precisely from NNA - their competitor. It is clear that gasoline is more expensive at the gas stations of partnership members. The owners of the gas station are sure that they are squeezed out of the market. Entrepreneurs have repeatedly turned to the FAS department, but they did not help them there. Now they are judging with antitrust, who, in their opinion, are inactive.

At one time, the authorities promised to find an alternative supplier of oil products for the region. However, they could not fulfill the promise. In the region, one company continues to dominate, which dictates prices. Since the beginning of 2020, automobile fuel has grown twice.

Today, at NNA gas stations in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka AI-92, it costs 48 rubles 87 kopecks per liter; AI-95-52 rubles 58 kopecks; AI-98-54 rubles 67 kopecks; Diesel fuel - 55 rubles 43 kopecks.
