Commentators were not surprised that Dagestan tops the list of regions in the North Caucasian Federal District for fuel prices and demanded concrete actions in the fight against high prices. "They discovered America, but will there be any actions?" asked a user with the nickname not necessarily))).

"Finally, my favorite topic. Will anything be done about this?!" asked rgrs.

"When will gasoline prices go down? There are no normal salaries, so at least lower the prices for something," demanded Paradox.

"Lower the prices, stop torturing the people," wrote Madina.

Other participants in the discussion emphasized that besides the high price, the quality of fuel leaves much to be desired.

"The quality of gasoline is just terrible," believes Survivor.

"It's not just that the price is high, but the gasoline is

bad

Some commentators complained about high prices at small gas stations. "At the networks: Lukoil, Rosneft, and so on, the price is the same, plus or minus 2 rubles. At private stations, everyone is already above 100 rubles," pointed out Strannik.

"Private stations always have high prices," noted Eduard.

Recall that on August 29, the authorities of Dagestan announced the creation of an operational headquarters, strengthening control over supplies and prices, and accelerating the resumption of work at closed gas stations. Residents of the republic then doubted the effectiveness of these measures and complained about high prices and a lack of functioning gas stations.

On September 1, residents of Dagestan, commenting on Rosstat's data, stated that the official data does not reflect the actual price increase and that gasoline at some gas stations is sold significantly higher than the statistical values provided.
