Drivers in the Volgograd region reported rising gasoline prices.

Drivers in the Volgograd region reported that gasoline prices have risen, yet they haven't encountered queues at gas stations or fuel shortages.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," in the Volgograd region, drivers encountered non-functioning pumps and fuel dispensers in canisters at some large gas stations a week ago. Cashiers claim the pumps are closed for repairs and deny any fuel problems. At smaller gas stations, however, restrictions were indeed in place, specifically limiting fuel dispenses to 100 liters per receipt. As early as June 16, local authorities announced that there was no fuel shortage in the region. .

Drivers in the Volgograd region interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" had different opinions regarding the gasoline situation in the region.

Alexander, who works delivering bulk cargo, reported that gasoline prices had risen. "Yesterday, I filled up for 79 rubles per liter of A-92. But there are no lines," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Truck driver Nikolay confirmed that prices had risen, and even more significantly. "As an example, a liter of A-92 now costs 89 rubles. "But there's no shortage," he noted.

Nikita, who works in freight transportation, noted that he hasn't experienced any price increases or shortages. "So far, I haven't encountered any price increases or shortages of gasoline. True, I have a large tank, so I fill up for a month at a time," he said.

Taxi driver Alexander, who noted that there is no fuel shortage, acknowledged that prices are rising, but not catastrophically. "Gasoline is constantly getting more expensive, we've gotten used to it, so the increase hasn't been noticeable so far. "There is no gasoline shortage," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

The owner of a company engaged in international passenger transportation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also noted that there is no shortage. "I filled up with A-95 today, and there was no shortage. Most of my cars run on diesel fuel – it's enough. As for the price, it doesn't bother me yet," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

All respondents also confirmed that they have not yet seen any price increases for any products in the region amid rising gasoline prices.

The survey is not representative and reflects only the personal opinions of those surveyed.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, information about a gasoline shortage emerged against the backdrop of attacks on oil refineries in southern Russia. On June 10, a fire broke out at an oil refinery in the village of Afipsky. On June 5, an oil depot in Ust-Labinsk caught fire, requiring the evacuation of nearby houses. On June 2, a drone attack caused a fire at an oil refinery in the village of Ilsky in the Seversky District. The fire was extinguished the same day.
