Rosneft begins limiting fuel sales at gas stations in Russia
Rosneft has imposed fuel purchase limits at its gas stations across Russia, the Zabaykalsky Krai Economic Development Ministry said in a post on the Max messenger, adding that drivers can buy up to 30 liters (7.9 gallons) of fuel at city gas stations and up to 50 liters (13.2 gallons) on highways. The ministry did not provide further details.
Limits on gasoline and diesel fuel sales have been introduced at Rosneft gas stations in Krasnoyarsk. The restrictions appeared at the chain’s gas stations and in the Yandex Gas Stations app, the Russian business daily Kommersant reported.
The stations are selling up to 30 liters (7.9 gallons) of AI-95 gasoline per vehicle and up to 50 liters (13.2 gallons) of AI-92, with a diesel fuel limit of 100 liters (26.4 gallons) per customer. Fuel is not being sold into canisters.
Karelia Governor Artur Parfenchikov said November 8 that Rosneft had also imposed gasoline sale restrictions in the region. “Gasoline: up to 30 liters in cities and up to 50 on highways. Diesel: up to 50 liters, and up to 200 liters at high-speed pumps for freight transport. Filling canisters with fuel is also prohibited,” the governor said.
Drivers in Arkhangelsk and Penza, as well as authorities in Buryatia, have reported restrictions at Rosneft gas stations.
Ukrainian drones have struck several Rosneft oil refineries in recent weeks. The Novokuibyshevsk refinery in the Samara region was attacked on October 30, Bashneft-Novoil in Ufa on October 31, and a refinery in the Ryazan region on November 5.
Bloomberg reported that Rosneft believes a few more months of war with Ukraine could cause long-term damage to the company’s business.
