In 10 Regions Of The Russian Federation, Gasoline Has Become More Expensive Than In The United States

It's most expensive in Tuva.

As a result of the fuel crisis, which arose after Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, gasoline has become more expensive in 10 regions of the Russian Federation, as well as in the occupied Crimea and Sevastopol, than in the United States.

This was reported by the publication The Moscow Times.

Data from Rosstat and calculations by TMT indicate that, as of the end of June, AI-92 gasoline was more expensive than its U.S. equivalent (Regular) in 12 regions of the Russian Federation.

According to the American Automobile Association, Regular gasoline in the United States costs an average of $3.8470 per gallon or $1.0164 per liter. That is 78.32 rubles at the Central Bank’s official exchange rate as of June 29—the date of Rosstat’s most recent statistical reporting period.

AI-92 is more expensive than this level in Yakutia (78.43 rubles per liter), in the Trans-Baikal Region (78.78 rubles per liter), on Sakhalin, and in the Magadan Region (79.05 and 79.91 rubles per liter).

Prices are even higher in Kalmykia (80.52 rubles), Kabardino-Balkaria (81.24 rubles), Kamchatka (85.41 rubles per liter), Dagestan (89.43 rubles), Chechnya (90.22 rubles), and the Republic of Tuva (97.44 rubles).

Also, according to Rosstat, prices for AI-92 in the occupied Crimea and Sevastopol have risen higher than in the U.S.—81.08 and 97.95 rubles per liter, respectively.

As TMT notes, the actual gasoline prices on the peninsula are several times higher than those published in official statistics: they reach 199 rubles per liter in Sevastopol and 185–200 rubles across Crimea as a whole.

Across Russia as a whole, gasoline prices rose by 1.6% over the past week and by 6.7% since the beginning of June. This marks a record high since 2009. The year-over-year price increase has approached 20%, marking the highest level in the past 16 years.
