The fuel shortage is becoming increasingly acute in Russia and the occupied territories of Ukraine, APA reports, citing Russian "Telegram" channels.
It is reported that currently in a number of Russian regions there are kilometers of queues of cars in front of gas stations, and the population complains about the low quality and high prices of fuel.
Officials say that the gasoline shortage is due to ongoing repairs at a number of large oil refining plants and increased planting and harvesting work in agriculture. Regular attacks by Ukrainian drones on oil refineries also contribute to the fuel shortage.

Pshaw - another stinky Ukrainian lie! Russian refineries powerful!
Congrats:
You zeeper PDSers are cheering our destabilizing a nuclear power that has more radical nuts than Putin just waiting to seize control.
The precedents and effects are all on you.
Comparison
Russia: 0.78 USD/liter
US: 0.83 USD/liter
UK: 1.77 USD/liter
Still cheaper in Russia.
You ruined mucus’s mugasm.
That's because the average annual income in Russia is a fraction of that in the US or Britain. Compared to the annual incomes, the numbers you've given make it far more expensive in Russia.
OK Ivan. Now compare your fellow Russian incomes with American incomes.
Your ruble is only worth a penny, too. Lol!
Jimmy Carter has fuel shortages in the 70’s.
I’m old enough to remember.
There were fuel rationing in the U.S. during WW2.
Fuel shortages are nothing new.
The Russians have something called public transportation.
I suspect it’s clean and cheap.
Only a small percentage of the Russian population drove cars in the CCCP.
Snow will be coming to Putinland in about two months and gasoline demand will go way down.
August is a holiday month in France. Perhaps Russians travel a lot in August too.

I don’t get what relevance your blast from the past and WWII post has to our current strategic information from Russia but I and my step brother both had our Army gear packed during President Nixon’s world wide alert, he was actually on the tarmac, my gear was instructed to be by my front door ready to go instantly.
—The Arab oil embargo of 1973 “The spark of the embargo was the Yom Kippur War in October 1973, when a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel on the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. In that war, the Soviet Union resupplied its allies Egypt and Syria, and the United States responded with a massive airlift of supplies to aid Israel.”
