Russia plans to thin out fuel queues based on odd-even vehicle registration numbers

The mass transition to autogas in the southern regions of Russia has turned into a risk of a boom for "gray" workshops.

Huge queues at legal car services in the southern regions of Russia are forcing drivers to turn to gray installers, who do not provide safety guarantees. The mass transition to gas will not solve the fuel crisis due to a lack of infrastructure, analysts noted.

Got an odd-numbered plate? Here’s where Russia is rationing gasoline by license plate as the fuel crisis deepens.

Russia’s fuel crisis is continuing. Many regions have imposed limits on how many liters of fuel drivers can purchase at one time — restrictions introduced by both local authorities and gas station chains. Fuel is unavailable at some stations, while long lines have formed at those that do have it. Authorities have tried to reassure Russians that the shortage will soon be resolved, urging patience and criticizing what they call “panic buying.” The situation has not improved, however. Some regions have decided to move to a system of selling fuel based on license plate numbers: on even-numbered days, vehicles whose plates begin (or end) with an even digit can fill up, while on odd-numbered days, those with odd digits can. A similar system, known as “odd-even,” has been used in other countries to combat fuel shortages — including in the United States, where it was introduced in 2012 in states affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Russia's decision to suspend diesel fuel exports has created significant disruption across global energy markets, affecting major importers and raising concerns about higher transportation and agricultural costs during the peak harvest season. Diesel Export Ban Reshapes Global Fuel Markets Analysts cited by the Financial Times have suggested that Russia's decision to halt diesel exports may serve as a geopolitical tool intended to increase pressure on Western governments over continued Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil refineries. Those assessments differ from suggestions that the measure was introduced because of a domestic diesel shortage. While Russia has experienced tighter gasoline supplies, diesel fuel has not faced the same level of scarcity on the domestic market.
