He noted that while manufacturers and retailers “scold the damper,” the mechanism has proven to be effective.
“If there was no damper, according to our estimates, gasoline would be 15 rubles more expensive,” the minister said.
Shulginov added that the Ministry of Energy monitors gasoline prices.
Earlier it was reported that on behalf of Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, an additional analysis of the operation of the fuel damper for gasoline and diesel fuel will be carried out, and the feasibility of adjusting it for 2022 will also be considered.
