Consequences of fuel shortage: Russians start diluting petrol

Diluted petrol has begun to appear at petrol stations across Russia due to fuel shortages.

Source: The Moscow Times, an independent Amsterdam-based news outlet, citing Yuri Valko, Head of the Russian Union of Car Services

Details: Valko said that manipulations with petrol could cause vehicle breakdowns, which owners of Chinese Geely cars are already complaining about.

Quote: "Russian petrol producers have started saving on quality because they cannot raise prices. There is a connection between these rumours and what has happened. Many have begun increasing octane levels using various additives due to the economic situation amid shortages in certain regions."

Details: He added that similar practices occurred in Russia in the late 2000s and early 2010s at some petrol stations.

Background:

  • Fuel shortages have been observed in 20 regions of Russia and in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine after Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries.
  • The Russian government has extended the temporary ban on petrol exports and introduced restrictions on other types of fuel until the end of 2025.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that long-range strikes had caused a 20% fuel shortage in Russia.
  • At least 57 regions of Russia, i.e. more than half, have been experiencing fuel supply disruptions after Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries.
