Large gas station networks have eased fuel sales limits in southern Russia.
"Rosneft" and "Bashneft" have increased the gasoline sales limit to 50 liters, while "Gazprom" has completely lifted restrictions at its gas stations in Astrakhan, Volgograd, and Rostov regions, as well as in Krasnodar and Stavropol territories. Analysts believe that it is not advisable to completely remove limits before October, when the high demand season ends.
