In Yekaterinburg, a well-known gas station network has started to sell 40 liters of fuel.

      In Yekaterinburg, gas stations of the "Gazpromneft" network have started to sell only 40 liters of fuel per receipt since last night. This is reported by "KP-Yekaterinburg" with reference to eyewitnesses.

      At the gas station on Kosmonavtov Avenue, in particular, the post-payment system has been disabled, the publication reports.

      — They said only 40 liters per receipt. But there are no restrictions on the number of refuels, — a reader told "KP".

      There is no fuel shortage in the Sverdlovsk region; the restrictions have been introduced to prevent people from stockpiling fuel in canisters for a "rainy day," noted State Duma deputy Maxim Ivanov in a conversation with "KP-Yekaterinburg."

      — If you have an 80-liter fuel tank, feel free to refuel, — the parliamentarian noted.

      He also expressed hope that against the backdrop of restrictions at gas stations, Ural residents would stop wasting fuel by driving at speeds of 200 km/h on the highways.

      A week ago, the "Tatneft" gas station network was the first among major players to limit fuel sales in the Urals to prevent artificial hype.
