Diesel Price Rises 4 Rubles in Six Months

Fuel prices are rising so rapidly that keeping track is a challenging task. But our reader Marat recorded the price of diesel at the same gas station for six months and was surprised when he decided to compare them. Since December 2025, diesel fuel has risen by 4 rubles per liter (less than $0.05 at current rates).

«I fill up with diesel without problems on Kosmonavtov at «Metro». Over six months it went up by 4 rubles. Only my salary isn«t growing,» says our reader.

He said that queues occur, but not always and not long ones.

«Sometimes drivers themselves slow down, crowd the first pumps, and don«t see that there are two empty ones on the right (9 and 10) where they can refuel,» a Yekaterinburg resident shared with E1.RU.

Recently, from this gas station at 102 Kosmonavtov Avenue, 95-octane gasoline (AI-95) completely disappeared, leaving only diesel and 92-octane gasoline.

Many Yekaterinburg residents are tired of driving around the city in search of working gas stations without queues: one day the station may have no one at all, and the next — a whole crowd. To make life easier for drivers today, we asked E1.RU readers where they filled up this morning. Find the most current addresses in this collection.

Fuel problems began in the Urals on June 20–21. Then drivers began to notice that gas stations were emptying and prices were rising. In various cities of Sverdlovsk Oblast, drivers are still standing in queues.

Against the backdrop of all these events, residents of the Urals have grown interested in electric cars and hybrids. These are the cars that aroused the most interest among visitors to the Innoprom exhibition, which recently took place in Yekaterinburg.
