To reduce queues and distribute traffic, the sale of gasoline at gas stations is being planned to be restricted for vehicles with license plates starting with even digits (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) on even days, and for those starting with odd digits (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) on odd days. Earlier, Nikitin discussed the implementation of a fuel release mechanism using QR codes within a pilot territory.
Consensus
- The government of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast is developing measures to manage fuel shortages at gas stations.
- Fuel supply issues in the region began in early July and were caused by a quarter reduction in deliveries combined with a sharp rise in consumption.
- Queues formed at gas stations and some stations temporarily closed due to the shortage.
- Since July 5, fuel delivery volumes have increased by nearly one-third, contributing to stabilization of the situation.
- Public transport, utilities, and emergency services continue operating normally.
- Some gas station networks still impose restrictions on fuel sales, such as limiting purchases to 40 liters per person and banning fuel sales in containers for certain equipment.
Points of divergence
- The regional government is also considering the use of QR codes for fuel distribution within a pilot area to ensure each individual can refuel a specific amount at a fixed time and location. — vm
- The plan involves restricting fuel sales based on whether the first digit of the vehicle's license plate is even or odd, with sales on even days for plates starting with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and on odd days for those starting with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. — vesti
- The Russian government has permitted the circulation of gasoline meeting Euro-3 standards until the end of 2026, according to an expert interviewed by 'Vechernaya Moskva'. — vm
