Now, not only LUKOIL and Gazprom Neft, which did this before, but other independent and petroleum-affiliated filling station chains increased the cost of gasoline. Accurate data on fueling stations is reported by the Moscow Fuel Association. For a week - from 2 to 9 April - for 1 liter of AI-92 had to give more, on average, 10 kopecks. - 38.75 rubles. , 1 liter of AI-95 went up by 12 kopecks. - up to 41.96 rubles. , the cost of diesel fuel increased by 15 kopecks. - up to 40.5 rubles. per liter.

And in the previous 28 days, the rise in price was, in the main, 1 kopecks. per week, a maximum of 5 kopecks. , note "Vedomosti". Earlier, during March, the prices for oil products grew, and at the beginning of this month the stock exchange price of fuel exceeded the records of November 2017. The reason for this lies in the decrease in the supply of gasoline on the market and in the growth of excises. And this is not the limit. The rate of price increase is "likely to accelerate," suggested General Director of the Analytics of Product Markets agency Mikhail Turukalov.

At the same time, several independent participants in the fuel market proposed measures to curb the growth of the cost of fuel: gradual liberalization of retail, an increase in the norms for selling motor fuel on the exchange to 50% of consumption and reducing excise rates. A few days ago, deputy head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Anatoly Golomolzin said that gasoline prices would rise in July. And before this a slight rise in price will occur due to some increase in demand, recalls URA. EN.
