Voronezh Residents Told to Use Public Transit Over Fuel Shortage

Residents of the Voronezh region were urged to switch to public transportation due to the fuel situation.

Consensus

The fuel shortage in Voronezh Oblast is due to ongoing Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries.
The situation is expected to remain tense until at least the second half of September.
All previously introduced limits and restrictions on fuel supply or sales in Voronezh Oblast remain in effect.
Residents are advised to use public transportation and reduce personal vehicle use.
Public transport, emergency services, agricultural enterprises, and school buses are given priority for fuel supply.
The governor made these statements during a live broadcast or direct line with residents.

Governor Gusev stated that there is almost no difference between Euro-4 and Euro-5 gasoline for engine performance, calling Euro-5 a 'marketing gimmick' that only slightly increases fuel cost, with engine performance more dependent on octane rating. — tg_astrapress
