It was recommended to introduce a limit on gasoline and diesel fuel in the Leningrad region, said the region's governor, Alexander Drozdenko.
"The operational headquarters of the Leningrad region decided to recommend introducing a single temporary fuel supply standard for the entire region: 30 liters of gasoline; 50 liters of diesel in one hand," he wrote.
According to the head of the region, restrictions are introduced by several large vertically integrated oil companies. Letters of recommendation have already been sent to all the fuel companies operating in the market in the area. The supply of fuel in the tanks complying with GOST R 58404-2019 is requested to be kept within the limit of one refueling.
According to Drozdenko, measures are needed to prevent excessive demand and give residents of the region a guaranteed opportunity to refuel their cars.
