Queues have formed at gas stations in Abkhazia.
Long queues have appeared at gas stations in Abkhazia; according to commentators, the fuel dispensing volume is limited to 20 liters.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", fuel prices have increased in the border areas of Abkhazia with Russia. At some gas stations, prices have risen by more than 10 percent, residents of the republic reported on Telegram on July 13.
Abkhazian Telegram channels are publishing videos of queues at gas stations in Abkhazia.
For instance, on the evening of July 29, videos appeared from the "Podorozhnik" gas station, where dozens of cars lined up along the roadside; in particular, the Telegram channel "Emergency Abkhazia" published the video.
"Dispensing 20 liters, the traffic jam is already over 1 km," wrote user And What.
"Yesterday I filled up for 90 rubles. The queue is small in Sukhum," commented a user with the nickname Abkhazia Kindyg Guest House 'Nakhodka', clarifying in another comment that it was about AI-95.
"The queue is unclear. There are queues at Rosneft, but they are small. There are many tourist cars. Prices are more than 10 rubles higher than in Adler. There is gasoline," believes Evgeny Kai.
"As gasoline runs out at AZID and small gas stations, queues form at larger ones, such as Rosneft and 'Podorozhnik'. And there will be a rush," replied Zurab Apsny.
"In Sukhum, there is one gas station each for 'Podorozhnik' and Rosneft, while AZID has more... Accordingly, everyone goes to fill up where it is available," he added.
Today, the same Telegram channel published a photo of a long queue along the roadside. "A queue of cars has formed in Kashatka (a village near Sukhum - note from 'Caucasian Knot')," the video description states.
"Every summer is like this; it will be even worse in August — peak season!" expressed Elena's opinion.
"Yesterday everything was fine for them, but today it's all gone. They are doing it on purpose," believes User Gios.
"Honestly, why be outraged, and who cares that people stand for hours at gas stations for some 20 liters!" commented the lord.
The gasoline collapse has reached Abkhazia. "Thanks" to our government for the monopoly. Due to market laws, the price of gasoline has risen, writes Gazeta.Abh in its Telegram channel.
Recall that the fuel problem in Russia arose against the backdrop of drone attacks on oil refineries, including those located in the south of the country. The issue with components for installing gas equipment on cars has arisen not only in the Astrakhan region but also in other regions. This has led to long waits for changing fuel systems, and prices for installing gas equipment and gas have significantly increased. Switching to gas is not a universal solution and does not suit everyone, drivers surveyed by the "Caucasian Knot" stated on July 11.
.
Recall that due to the fuel crisis, drivers in the southern regions of Russia have started to massively switch their cars to gas, 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.
