Network gas stations in the Volgograd region have canceled gasoline sales limits.

Restrictions on gasoline sales in the Volgograd region have been lifted not only at Gazprom gas stations but also in the Lukoil network, regional authorities reported.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the situation with fuel in some regions of southern Russia improved over the past week: in the Volgograd region, limits on gasoline sales were increased. Meanwhile, local summer residents, against the backdrop of a ban on dispensing gasoline into canisters, are forced to bring garden equipment to gas stations, asking attendants to make exceptions or to siphon fuel from their car tanks. Since July 28, restrictions at Gazprom gas stations have been completely lifted in the Astrakhan, Volgograd, and Rostov regions, as well as in the Krasnodar and Stavropol territories, and on the federal highway M-4 "Don".

At all gas stations of the Gazprom and Lukoil networks in the Volgograd region, as of July 28, limits on the dispensing of all types of fuel have been completely lifted, reported the regional committee for industrial policy, trade, and the fuel and energy complex.

The agency announced that "the situation in the fuel market of the Volgograd region has stabilized," noting that officials are still working on improving logistics efficiency and supply stability.

During the acute gasoline shortage in the Volgograd region, the sales limit at gas stations was 20 liters. Since July 14, Lukoil gas stations raised the limit to 30 liters, and later it was increased to 40 liters. The Gazpromneft gas station network lifted restrictions on the sale of AI-92 on July 24 and raised the limit on AI-95 to 30 liters.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that in the Astrakhan region, starting July 28, the system of refueling on even and odd days, introduced due to the fuel crisis, has been canceled. Gas stations in the region are transitioning to round-the-clock operation, the governor stated.

It is worth noting that due to the fuel crisis, drivers in southern Russia have begun to switch their cars to gas en masse, leading to long queues at auto repair shops. Analysts previously noted that the long wait forces motorists to turn to "gray" installers, who do not guarantee the safety of the equipment.
