Yalutorovsk drivers queue for gasoline, uncertain of delivery

In Yalutorovsk (Tyumen Oblast), motorists queue at gas stations even when there is no fuel. People arrive in advance and wait, although station employees cannot say when a new batch of gasoline will arrive. Such a scene was observed by a 72.RU correspondent near the Gazprom Neft gas station.

Despite the lack of fuel, the line of cars does not go away. The string of cars can stretch up to eight kilometers along the road.

«The sellers say it«s unknown whether there will be gasoline or not. But people still stand in line,» — said local resident Svetlana.

According to her, the situation with gasoline in the city remains tense; refueling at the normal price is practically impossible anywhere.

«There is no gasoline at any gas station in the city at all. Here it appears occasionally because it is a federal highway. And only here can people refuel,» says Svetlana.

When fuel is eventually delivered, waiting in line takes one to two hours. The woman herself refuels both her cars — a Lada X-Ray and a Lada Granta — with AI-92 gasoline and tries to use this network because, she says, prices remain the most affordable.
