Against the backdrop of rising gasoline prices, the number of operating gas stations in Krasnodar has decreased.

This morning in Krasnodar, AI-95 was available at only 40 gas stations, while at 63 stations at least one type of fuel is available. Three days earlier, authorities reported 70 open gas stations. The stations where the price per liter is 189 rubles are empty.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", one of the residents of Krasnodar complained online that some gas stations in the city have raised gasoline prices. Other Krasnodar residents, commenting on his post, demanded that officials and relevant agencies check the justification for the fuel price increase and curb the unjustified price hike.

Today in Krasnodar, gasoline is available at 63 gas stations, while another 40 have no fuel, and 11 are closed for repairs, reported the municipal management center of Krasnodar. AI-92 is available at 46 gas stations, AI-95 at 40 gas stations, AI-100 at 9 gas stations, and diesel fuel at 57 gas stations, authorities reported.

This message was reposted by the Telegram channel "Emergency Krasnodar", which received 7 comments by 16:22 Moscow time.

"This week, starting Tuesday, the number of operating gas stations has decreased," noted Alexander. On Tuesday, July 14, the municipal management center reported that gasoline was available at 70 gas stations, on July 15 at 69, and on July 16 at 66 gas stations, as confirmed by the "Caucasian Knot".

Alexander Tatarintsev asked where to buy AI-100 gasoline.

"Yesterday at 'Atana' I saw it for 259, I think it hasn't run out," replied Andre.

"If they are forced to sell it for 70, they will close down, everyone who bought it from them for 260 will line up in general," believes Roman.

The Telegram channel "Krasnodar Teletype" published two videos from the 'Atan' gas station network. In the videos, AI-100 is priced at 269 rubles, AI-95 at 189, AI-92 at 159, and diesel fuel at 179 and 170 rubles per liter. The prices are astronomical, says the author of one of the videos. He noted that there are no customers willing to refuel at such rates. The author of the second video expressed his attitude towards such prices using profanity.

Let us remind you that the fuel crisis in the Krasnodar region provoked a sharp increase in demand for the installation of gas equipment (GBO). The cost of this service has nearly doubled, and auto services are booking clients for several months in advance. Along with the rush, prices for propane have also risen.

Some residents of Kuban stated that they consider switching to gas the only way to reduce expenses. Others are convinced that the current crisis is temporary and will not lead to mass retrofitting of vehicles.
