Russian region caps fuel sales at 15 liters per vehicle — the tightest limit in the country

Source: Government of Zabaykalsky Krai

Zabaykalsky Krai imposed a heightened readiness regime on June 25 to manage fuel market conditions, the regional government announced.

Under the regime, retail fuel sales to individuals were capped at 15 liters (4 gallons), and only directly into vehicle tanks.

Fuel companies were ordered to keep a “non-reducible reserve” for emergency services equivalent to one month’s consumption.

The government also ordered the rollout of a mechanism to shift vehicles to natural gas.

Russia’s fuel crisis, which began after Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries and fuel tankers along the R-280 highway, is spreading to an increasing number of regions. More than 20 regions have already imposed government-mandated restrictions on gasoline sales, while most of the rest are experiencing shortages at gas stations. In most cases, purchases are capped at 20–30 liters per customer.
