Demand for gasoline fell seriously in Russia: reasons became known

October 22 2019 10

Analysts of the Russian fuel market reported a drop in demand for gas, which is a record for the past four years.

Edition "News" reports that the analysts surveyed claim a 1% drop in demand, which is a serious decline for this market.

According to experts, a drop in demand for automobile fuel is based on a number of factors, among which, first of all, they highlight a decrease in consumer activity of Russians due to a decrease in cash incomes of the population by 1,2% compared to the same period last year, which recorded by Rosstat.

Another reason for the decline in demand for gasoline is that motorists begin to switch to a cheaper type of fuel - gas.

According to IG Petromarket, last year alone, gas engine fuel consumption increased by 9%, and over the eight months of this year, its consumption increased by another 8%.

At the same time, experts note that the drop in demand for gasoline has nothing to do with its price. In their opinion, in this case, the cost of operating the car rather plays a role, which, taking into account the transport tax, the cost of parking, fines and maintenance, is still not a cheap pleasure.

I agree with the above reasons. I would add here drivers who could not stand too heavy traffic. And they put their "cars" on the joke.

So, gasoline will rise again in price soon. The oligarchs will take their toll on the domestic market.

I don’t know how in other cities, but in Moscow it is now easier to take a taxi or public transport. Too many problems with parking, traffic jams, fines. Thanks to Sobyanin and his team.

  Under Luzhkov, traffic jams were harder.

Yes, it’s no secret why. In the country, as for me, everyone has problems with earning, from this there are no purchases of new cars, old ones gather dust in the garage, and there is no one to buy gasoline! It would be better if people were offered to raise salaries! Although many, as far as I know, have found ideas for additional income on the Internet. People will get out of any situation, proud of such strong personalities!

It is hard to imagine a more ridiculous and stupid conclusion. It is likely that very soon a liter of diesel fuel or 95th gasoline will cost 60-65 rubles, approximately, as in the West, but according to the conclusions of these unfortunate analysts and dumb-headed experts, this too will not play a role in increasing the fall in demand for fuel. Well, and the decline in living standards and the ever-decreasing purchasing power of the vast majority of our population, these silly experts are talking about something ???

The worst thing is not even a decline in consumer, but entrepreneurial activity.

  So this is closely interconnected, people cannot afford to buy as many goods and services as they could afford it 5-6 years ago, and business, mainly small, due to the subsidence of the domestic market, accordingly, suffers most sensitively. as he basically offers these goods and services, in contrast to big business, which is mainly "sharpened" for foreign trade.
