Massive queues at gas stations in Russia are one of the most visible effects of the second wave of the fuel crisis, which has hit the country harder than the first. Cars are queuing at night because in many regions, gasoline is only available at a small number of stations—sometimes only one in ten. Video: location not provided. This highlights the real problem of refueling, as people stand in massive lines. Key facts from the internet—a collection of information shared by journalists Gasoline is available at fewer than 30% of stations across Russia—according to the Gdebenz app, only 28% of stations offered fuel in mid-August. Queues appeared in Moscow for the first time since the beginning of the war; AI-92 fuel was available at one in ten stations. Refilling limits (e.g., 30-40 liters) have been introduced in many regions. In some places, overnight queues are the only chance to fill up—drivers queue in front of stations, waiting for their delivery. The crisis stems from Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries, which have paralyzed more than half of Russia's processing capacity. 🛢️ Why are the queues so massive? Russia currently produces 75,000–80,000 tons of gasoline per day, while demand is 115,000–120,000 tons. This translates to a daily deficit of approximately 35%. In practice, this means that fuel disappears immediately after delivery – hence the queues that form at night, even before the pumps open. 🚗 Where is it worst? Moscow – queues, 40–50 liter limits, fuel availability at many stations is 85%, according to the app. Fuel limits are 40–50 liters. Typically, in the EU, 40–50 liters is enough to fill a vehicle. If a vehicle burns 5 liters per 100 km, 40 liters of fuel is enough for a distance of up to 800 km (10 liters – 200 km). Krasnodar, Bashkortostan, Orenburg – limits, rationing, some stations closed. Crimea and Sevastopol – dramatic shortages, fuel available at 1-3% of stations. 📉 What's next? The Kremlin officially claims the situation is "non-critical," but the facts suggest otherwise: Fuel shortages are systemic, attacks on refineries continue, fuel imports from Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Morocco are not keeping up with demand. According to the app: gdebenz.ru/, many stations in Moscow are 85% full. A 40-liter fill-up limit has been set – this usually means filling up to 40 liters. It's funny that the limit is set at 40 liters. In the EU, most people fill up with 40-50 liters. How long does this limit last? How long until the next fill-up?
