Gasoline prices at Moscow gas stations began to rise noticeably in 2020, while diesel fuel prices have risen since mid-January 2021. This happened after the rapid growth of wholesale prices on the stock exchange. Last summer, the rate of growth in fuel prices accelerated so much that measures to contain them were discussed, up to a ban on exports and an agreement with oil companies, but they were not taken. The cost of fuel in Moscow has stabilized and even began to decline slightly in early March.
