The Russian Ministry of Energy assures that there are no fuel supply issues due to the accident at the Tuapse plant, as it is oriented towards exports. Shulginov stated that there are no problems with fuel on the market following the decrease in exports. The question of exempting small plants from duties is being considered.

The majority of the fuel price (up to 70%) is accounted for by taxes and excise duties. The rest includes costs of raw materials, processing, and gas station profits. The state sets the price based on its objectives. There is a lack of oil refineries, and consumers are interested in increasing energy efficiency. In the coming years, fuel prices will continue to rise, but changes in oil prices are unlikely to affect them.
