OREANDA-NEWS In 13 regions of Russia, the fuel situation has significantly improved and queues at gas stations have been reduced. This is reported by Izvestia with reference to data on the availability of gasoline on the Russiabase gas station locator site.

It is claimed that queues at gas stations have significantly decreased in the Bryansk, Irkutsk, Kaliningrad, Kaluga, Kurgan, Novgorod, Orel and Smolensk regions, as well as in Buryatia, Kalmykia, Komi Republic, Primorsky Krai and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. The situation has also improved slightly in Moscow, the Moscow Region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, although queues at gas stations still occur during rush hours.

The most difficult situation with gasoline remains in the central and southern regions of the country, as well as in the Volga region. Among them are Astrakhan, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kirov, Orenburg, Penza, Rostov, Tambov and Yaroslavl regions, Mordovia, Udmurtia, Chuvashia, Perm Krai and Crimea.

Earlier, the Stavropol Territory restricted the use of official vehicles due to fuel. According to preliminary estimates, the solution will reduce consumption by three thousand tons per month, so that other consumers can use them.
