Since May 1, the export duty on Russian petrol will rise by 44% per 1 ton of fuel will fall to 408.3 dollars. This is 90% of the rate of duty on oil, which will be installed in May.

Rising oil prices due to unrest in oil-producing countries in the Middle East and military conflict in Libya. According to Deputy Energy Minister Sergei Kudryashov, in May, exports of petroleum products from Russia will be limited to saturate the domestic market. He also said that in the near future, gasoline prices in Russia can be corrected, but unfortunately, most likely it will not decline, and growth. These measures were taken against the background of "petrol crisis" that erupted in the country. Government has come to grips with the problem of gasoline due to fuel shortage. About a week ago, some Russian regions of gasoline were running perilously low, resulting in, along with a surge in demand for fuel started to rise and prices. Worst of all had to motorists in Altai Krai, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Murmansk, Tuva, Sakhalin, in the Kursk, Yaroslavl, Krasnodar, as well as the Crisis wave reaching as far as St. Petersburg. Earlier this week, Vladimir Putin asked relevant departments to understand the causes of fuel shortages in the market, so as soon as possible to deal with this situation. The Government, together with the prosecutor and the Federal Antimonopoly Service. The Prosecutor's Office believes that the petrol shortage was caused by artificially as a result of collusion in the oil market. FAS broke testing of oil companies in more than 20 regions of the country. Ministry of Energy, in turn, supports the version of the artificial creation of scarcity, explaining that an increase in petroleum exports by 67%. The situation with gasoline prices in Russia has rapidly deteriorated since the spring of 2008, while many carriers are faced with the problem of increasing fuel costs, which naturally affected the prices of airline tickets. Saved the situation decline in oil prices since mid-summer 2008. But six months later Russia again excelled inflated prices for fuel, while across the globe are declining. Oil companies would not suffer losses from reduced export demand, and "played" on the domestic market, starting to raise prices. Since the cost of gasoline is slowly but steadily growing. In addition, since the beginning of this year increased taxation of oil products, is now about 40% of the cost of gasoline accounted for tax. For comparison, the oil tax in America accounts for less than 15% of the cost of gasoline. By the way, in other countries such as Germany and the UK, the tax amounts to about 80% of the price of gasoline, however, there is no annual vehicle tax - motorists only pay for how much they were short visits to the fact. Donated and Russian diesel - just a few months the price of 1 liter of diesel oil rose by about 60%. But Vladimir Putin to rein appetite oil companies, which together with the reduction in prices slowed down the growth in diesel and gasoline. Analysts believe that if the authorities had not intervened then, but now the price of fuel would have been closer to 28 rubles per 1 liter. In the U.S., a gallon of gasoline costs $ 2 in some states, the price reaches 2.30 dollar. In terms of our currency and the value of this means that in America, 1 liter of gasoline costs about 16-18 rubles. In Germany, 1 liter of gasoline costs from 1,30 to 1.40 euros, that is about 57 rubles. In Turkey, for 1 liter of gasoline are asked about 70 rubles. In Russia, in particular in the Moscow region, cost 95-octane gasoline has reached 26.5 rubles. Typically, oil-producing countries are trying to tame the domestic prices of fuel, it does not stint on exports, but, unfortunately, our country has not yet reached such a popular policy - we buy their petrol from the same high prices themselves. Our neighbors petrol costs a little more expensive - in Belarus, the price of 1 liter of 35 rubles (0.806 euro) and the Ukraine - 33 rubles (0.863 euros). For comparison, in November 2010, the closest to the people turned out to countries such as Venezuela, Iran, Libya and Saudi Arabia - the cost of 1 liter of petrol is there are 3, 9, 13 and 16 cents respectively. A particularly distinguished Turkmenistan, where up to 1 liter of paying only 2 cents.
