⛽️Favorite column "What's up with fuel in Crimea": fuel prices today

We wanted to publish these videos tomorrow, but tomorrow the prices will be different. And it's not a fact that they will decrease, as Putin ordered.

AI-95 - 249 rubleys
Diesel fuel - 270 rubleys
Goida!

All lies and western propaganda! In fact fuel is free!!!

Image shows gas station prices, most fuel is 00,00 indicating that there is no fuel in a gas station

So in SI units with dollars/euros $3.24/liter or 2.84e/liter. That's pretty close to what we're paying anyway in EU already some places

But many of us have way higher average salaries than they have in Russia.

[-] comador@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah, its basically double the cost for Russian citizens, so $24/gallon.

[-] GreatDane@feddit.dk 4 points 2 days ago

What is this "gallon" you speak of?

[-] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

One gallon is about 15.642197454545 pægl.

Isn't it a type of American cowboy hat?

[-] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Only if you have 10 of them. Otherwise it's a bucket.

[-] comador@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

1 US gal = 3.8 EU liters.

As a yank who lived in the UK for some time, I got used to liters for petrol, but I could never get used to metric grams and kilograms for cooking.

Good, maybe dont invade your neighbor who signed a permanent peace treaty with you when they gave you all their nuclear arsenal.

[-] Visstix@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I mean.. it's almost $11 here in the Netherlands if you get it at a highway. We aren't even getting bombed.

[-] bigboismith@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The average salary is also alot higher. Paying that much on a Russian salary can't be fun

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

The Netherlands isn't an oil producing country that normally gifts the fuel to its citizens.

That's why these prices hit so hard in the ruzzia.

[-] iocase@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Imagine what would happen to the price if you were

For now. No gas is getting through. Mad Max cometh.

[-] djmikeale@feddit.dk 7 points 2 days ago

I'm curious to know what is the standard rate for fuel?

[-] The_v@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

For the past 10 years it's been $2-$4/gallon or less. The Russian government subsidizes the price of gasoline with revenues from the sale of crude oil.

[-] CorrectAlias@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 days ago

And the average annual earnings for people is very low, further amplifying the price

[-] lmdnw@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I feel bad for the Ukrainians stuck under occupied rule, but I hope the Russians who moved to Crimea post annexation in a West Bank-esque sort of move end up stranded during an emergency situation and die.
