On odd-numbered dates (e.g., July 9), fuel is dispensed to vehicles with license plates ending in odd digits (1, 3, 5, 7, 9); on even-numbered dates (e.g., July 10), it is available for those with plates ending in even digits (0, 2, 4, 6, 8). These restrictions do not apply to gas stations located on federal highways or regional roads outside of populated areas.
Consensus
- Fuel sales in multiple Russian regions will be restricted based on vehicle license plate numbers and calendar dates.
- The restriction applies to regular vehicles, excluding emergency and operational services.
- The measure is part of a broader response to fuel shortages or supply issues.
- Similar rules have been introduced in other regions including Pskov Oblast, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Astrakhan Oblast, and Lipetsk Oblast.
Points of divergence
- In Pskov Oblast, fuel sales will depend on the first digit of the license plate number, not the last digit as in Mordovia. — kommersant
