“In Russia, there is now a surplus of gasoline, our domestic market is very well supplied.

There is no shortage risk at all.

If the goods are more than enough, then we can expect that at gas stations, sellers will begin to compete more actively.

Accordingly, this will lead to the fact that some gas station chains will begin to introduce discounts on gasoline, ”he said in an interview with Sputnik radio.

At the same time, according to Turukalov, a possible decrease in gasoline prices will be insignificant and smooth. 

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak gave a forecast for the prices of gasoline and diesel in the country.
