In Crimea the situation with fuel supplies is beginning to improve, making gasoline available again at gas‑stations in the region’s biggest cities. За последнюю неделю на АЗС в крупных городах Крыма стало возможно купить бензин и заправить машину. Об этом рассказал «Абзацу» блогер Александр Горный, noting that the fuel now appears on some regional pumps but remains expensive. The price now stands at around 240–260 rubles per litre, which many residents—especially in small settlements—still find too high.

According to data published by the Ministry of Fuel and Energy of Crimea, free fuel sales were originally available at 99 stations across the republic. Today the official count shows 81 stations still offering gasoline and diesel. The Ministry reported the decline, explaining that logistical adjustments have narrowed the list to the most accessible locations. Residents now have a clearer but still limited set of options for refuelling.
Some Crimean locals have responded to the higher costs by switching to electric transport. According to the blogger, people can find electric scooters and bicycles at order‑pickup points, and a used full‑drive electric bike is available for roughly 80 000 rubles with a range of about 50 km. This lets commuters travel to Feodosia and back without needing gasoline at all.
Economists note that the price level—240–260 rubles per litre—remains above the average for the Russian market, reflecting supply constraints and regional logistics. They also point out that the limited number of free‑sale stations (81) may create bottlenecks for drivers in rural areas. Experts stress that while the situation is gradually stabilising, wholesale and retail pricing pressures will likely keep fuel昂贵 for the near term.
From a consumer‑behaviour standpoint, the high price has accelerated interest in alternatives such as e‑bikes and scooters, which are promoted as cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Small towns that lack many free‑sale stations are seeing a rise in demand for these devices, and local entrepreneurs are starting to offer rental services. This shift could stimulate a modest micro‑economy around shared electric transport.
For those looking to save on mobility costs, a practical tip is to monitor the Ministry’s updated list of free‑sale stations via the official Telegram channel, and consider second‑hand electric bikes as a one‑time investment. The market also offers short‑term rentals of e‑scooters and bicycles, which can be a cost‑effective solution for occasional trips.
