Social media users encountered difficulties purchasing gasoline in Ingushetia.

Gasoline prices have risen in Ingushetia, with some stations running out of gas. Social media users have also complained about rising gas prices. One gas station chain has introduced sales coupons, Fortanga reported, without specifying where the coupons are being distributed or who is eligible.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," authorities in the North Caucasus regions have not announced gasoline sales limits, but have reported on measures to prevent shortages. The situation is most acute in Dagestan, where the most significant increase in gasoline prices has been observed.

In Ingushetia, some Rosneft and other companies' gas stations have been closed without explanation. As of June 26, some Rosneft and other companies' gas stations have been closed since the morning. For example, on the road from Nazran to Kantyshevo, at least three of the five gas stations are out of service. The Rosneft gas station is cordoned off with colored tape. However, this situation has never been observed in the republic before. Narus only sells fuel with coupons, Fortanga reports.

Attached to the message is a photograph of a paper sign posted at the gas station reading "Gasoline only with coupons!"

The message does not specify where coupons are issued, for what quantities of fuel, or who is eligible.

"All the gas stations on this road have always been open, but today this is the situation. It's already unclear whether this is related to the gasoline crisis in the country. "Our prices keep rising," one driver is quoted as saying in the post.

By 7:01 PM Moscow time, the post had garnered 92 comments on the publication's Instagram page*.

Users primarily share their personal experiences searching for fuel, prices at various gas stations, and their speculation about the reasons for the situation. The comments also actively discuss gasoline availability, gas station hours, gas prices, and possible future price changes.

Some users claim to have encountered fuel shortages or restrictions on deliveries.

"In Magas, prices are listed, but in reality, there's no gas. I filled up at a Narus for 80 rubles, and that was only 30 liters for one car," wrote user dom_dverei_laminata.

"Many gas stations are out of gas, we checked today. "It's a disaster with 95," noted ___ruket___..

"Where can I get these coupons?" another user commented.

The comments provide mixed information about the network's gas stations.

"I don't understand the reason to panic. I can easily fill up at Rosneft for 68 rubles for 95 gasoline, and they sell it by the ton." "What's the reason for the panic?" asked myaso_boynya.

"Look today - Rosneft, all the gas stations are closed," replied legioner.06.

"Not anymore," added molemole777.

Users share their own observations after touring the gas stations.

"He's been gone since last night. “I just got home - out of eight, only one had Rosneft,” said carskijlev889.

“I drove all over Nazran today and couldn’t find a gas station with gasoline,” said akhmed0307.

The price of gas is also rising.

“In Ingushetia, 80% of people drive on gas, so people won’t really notice the suspension,” expressed the opinion of in_sa_ko.

“Gas is already 32 rubles,” replied t0chiev.

“Do you think gas won’t get more expensive? The price has sharply increased by 7 rubles. It’s not about whether it’s gas or not. Diesel has become more expensive. Prices for "Everything will skyrocket," believes dimitri0644.

Several commentators offer their own versions of what's happening.

"They're artificially creating excitement, like there's a shortage, there's no gasoline, then they'll start selling it for a hundred or even more per liter. They're selling it for pennies on the dollar for export, but they're going all out on the domestic market," writes dma_23_01_797.

"Artificial shortages. Where have you ever seen a business like this where prices for a product rise by 30% in a week and people pounce on it like crazy? Gas stations will soon be open, and prices will be as high as they are today," believes morgan_57272.

"How is this possible? A country that occupies a leading position in oil production and refining—and has a problem with "Gasoline???" - ing__mado__ing noted.

"What are the FAS and the prosecutor's office doing? Just yesterday there was news that there is no shortage in Ingushetia. So, they're artificially creating a stir," wrote madina_akh.
