In six Russian regions, there was not a single gas station with gasoline available to the public, T-Bank's service showed. In many areas, you can refuel only in regional capitals

"MO" examined the map of fuel availability that T-Bank launched amid the gasoline crisis caused by AFU attacks. In several regions, on the morning of July 9, the service does not display any available gas stations at all, or shows only one or two per region.

📲 How the map works. It analyzes about 20,000 gas stations across Russia based on the bank's clients' transactions and shows the probability that fuel is available at each station. For each gas station, it shows the time of the last purchase made with a T-Bank card and a forecast of the availability of different types of fuel. The last displayed transaction shows that the station is still operating.

📍The map currently shows no working gas stations at all in Kabardino-Balkaria, Ingushetia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Magadan Oblast, and Chukotka. Dagestan was one of the first to introduce strict limits on fuel sales: no more than 20 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel per person. The authorities explained this as necessary to distribute existing reserves evenly.

📍In Kalmykia, the service shows only one working gas station, in Elista. In Astrakhan Oblast, only two, while in neighboring Volgograd Oblast the map shows more than 20 working gas stations. Despite this, the Astrakhan authorities claim that there is no fuel shortage, and that the lines are due exclusively to seasonal growth in demand and logistical difficulties.

📍The map also shows two working gas stations in Kaliningrad Oblast (both in Kaliningrad) and North Ossetia (in the Vladikavkaz area). The authorities of Kaliningrad Oblast reported additional fuel supplies and the introduction of temporary restrictions at certain gas stations to stabilize the situation. In Tuva, the service shows three working gas stations, two of which are in the capital, Kyzyl.

📍State-owned vehicles remain operational even in the problem regions, since they are serviced separately or allowed through without waiting in line. As the outlet "7x7" reported, in Saratov, gasoline at one Rosneft station is dispensed to emergency-service vehicles and representatives of district administrations, MFCs, and Russian Post. Similar rules are in effect in Volgograd and Krasnodar, where vehicles of state agencies and officials receive priority when refueling.
