This was announced by the Ministry of Energy.
Due to the introduction of short-term restrictions on the operation of automobile gas-filling compressor stations (methane gas stations), as a result of the influx of cold air, the volume of gasoline put up for exchange trading will increase.
To date, 3,700 tons of gasoline put up for exchange trading will be increased to 5,000 tons, depending on supply and demand.
The issue of fully satisfying consumer demand for gasoline has been taken under state control, and all necessary measures have been taken.
Owners of private gas stations were asked not to artificially raise prices, but to sell gasoline in accordance with established quality and quantity requirements. Control measures will be strengthened to prevent unjustified price increases.
