Why gasoline is considered too cheap in some regions of Russia

In some regions of the Russian Federation, the price of gasoline at filling stations turned out to be even lower than the wholesale prices. This means that many gas station owners are simply forced to sell the purchased fuel at a loss. Izvestia learned about this from representatives of industry organizations.

Why gasoline is considered too cheap in some regions of Russia

Why did it happen that wholesale prices are higher than retail prices?

Thus, the regions in which gasoline at filling stations is cheaper than on the wholesale markets are: Sakhalin, Khabarovsk Territory and Primorsky Territory. If you turn to SPIMEX (St. Petersburg International Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange) for information, then the purchase of one ton of AI-92 from ANHK costs private traders a round sum of 56 thousand rubles.

And taking into account delivery to Vladivostok, this aggregate price per ton already reaches 63,500 rubles. If we recalculate this cost in liters, then it turns out that gasoline costs 48.6 rubles per liter for refuellers, and it is sold at an average price of 46.9 rubles.

Ai-95 gasoline is even more unprofitable for filling station owners. So, taking into account the cost of delivery to the Far Eastern region, they are forced to sell it cheaper than the wholesale price by 5.8%.

A roughly similar situation with gasoline prices is developing in the Tver region. So, according to the Head of the Russian Fuel Union E. Arkush, this situation is dangerous because many private fuel filling stations can simply go bankrupt, because they, in unlike large oil companies, there is no way to redistribute losses and profits between different regions.

What is being done to rectify the situation

Of course, officials see everything that is happening and the Ministry of Energy issued a statement that the government a whole range of measures is being prepared to remedy the situation in order to neutralize the influence of world prices on our domestic market. So in the plans it is necessary to adjust the damper mechanism, as well as allocate subsidies for the supply of fuel to the regions.

How it will turn out in the end, only time will tell. Please write down how much gasoline you have at a gas station in the comments, and put your thumbs up if you liked the material. Take care of yourself!
