There is nothing more expensive than cheap gasoline

Not a word about Covid


The coronavirus pandemic simply could not help but affect oil prices. And in the end it affected very strongly. We will not repeat what efforts it cost OPEC and Russia, which joined the cartel, and in a duet with Kazakhstan, and then also the United States and Mexico.

However, it was possible to keep gasoline prices at the level within the country only due to the fall in demand - especially from small businesses and ... aviation... Now there is simply no one to take the rap for aviation, and internet commerce has clearly taken the place of small business.



There are no exact statistics yet. But, at least on the highways, networked cars are now noticed regularly - at each exit, by the way, they have become less frequent. But the main thing is that on the second wave of the pandemic (as opposed to the first), against the background of an openly panicking Europe, nothing stood up.

These days, various federal departments are willingly reporting that the rise in gasoline prices did not exceed the annual inflation rate. So, according to Rosstat (which is more and more difficult to believe every year), prices for AI-95 gasoline in the country have grown over the year by only 2,4 percent. The 92nd allegedly went up in price and did only by 2,1 percent.

The Federal State Statistics Service recalled on this occasion that the annual inflation for 2020 will be 4,9 percent. This is a preliminary estimate, although from the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance, as well as from several other ministries, departments and institutes with universities, we were assured that there will be no more than the desired 4 percent, or even 3,8 percent.

We will not expand here that official inflation in our country has very little to do with the rise in consumer prices, but after all, an unpleasant aftertaste from another deception cannot be avoided.

Obviously, realizing that it is simply impossible to cope with the rise in gasoline prices, the Ministry of Energy decided to note that there

"Continue to control the situation on the fuel market."

The same department recalled that

"As quarantine measures weaken and business activity increases in various regions, there is a recovery in demand for gasoline in the domestic market."

OPEC is not to blame


The current oil quotes at $ 50–55 per barrel seem to suit both oil producers and Russian Gazprom, which continues to conclude futures contracts with an open plan for the launch of Nord Stream 2.

There is no reason for concern among the main consumers of energy resources - first of all, the United States and China. At the same time, the Americans, despite all the shocks, continue to keep the prices for gasoline in the country as low as possible.
In some places, it can be almost a dollar, but in the outback, which is closer to oil Texas, a liter of the most popular 95th can really be purchased even for 65 cents. Cheaper only in Turkmenistan, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, but there you still need to regularly get something like a special permission to buy.


And about the same now costs gasoline in Russia. But even then, only thanks to the fall in the ruble exchange rate by a third, which happened in the quarantine spring of 2020.

Almost no one doubts that the Russian economy, and even more so the far from rich population, needs cheap gasoline (Russia needs cheap gasoline). Unless, of course, you do not count the stubborn ultra-liberals, who are ready to tell us today about

“The iron hand of the market”.

Why the US fuel market is subsidized on the same scale as the agricultural sector, this kind of experts prefer not to recall at all. Although the transportation even to Alaska there cannot be compared with our “northern delivery”.

Empty efforts


"The production volumes are currently sufficient to meet domestic demand and maintain the necessary reserves."

This is a statement by the same Ministry of Energy, which, in fact, has a very indirect relationship to the rise in gasoline prices.

But once they ask, you have to answer. If again there is a cartel collusion of companies and networkers who own gas stations, they will probably ask from the antimonopoly department - FAS. There, as in the old days, they will require additional powers.

In the form of fines and sanctions. But in this respect, we now have the leaders, as you know, not FAS, but Rospotrebnadzor. So, in line, in line. Cope as long as you can.

And this means only one thing - the passion for the pandemic at the gas station has long been played out. Now we are being told that the positive from vaccination does not balance the negative from the new strains of the damned Covid-19, right down to the Russian strain.

It is not clear just what all this has to do with leapfrog with the prices of gas stations? Judge for yourself, despite all the assurances of Rosstat and others like it, since the beginning of December, AI-92 and AI-95 have risen in price to 48 and almost 49 thousand rubles per ton, respectively. This is at least eight percent growth.

For the umpteenth time, for some reason the Russian consumer is paying for the oil that has risen in price. For which prices, in general, would have to decline due to growing export revenues. And there is another growth wave ahead.

It will be stimulated, according to experts, by additional payments from the budget, which ordinary citizens are unlikely to appreciate and feel. And also - damned tariffs: for the same housing and communal services, energy and transport. A vicious circle, running along which is an empty chore.

Without looking back at the euro and the dollar


If you believe Rosstat, it turns out that in euros or dollars, gasoline in Russia in 2020, in general, did not rise in price, but fell in price. Although statisticians could count just in dollars. In our country, their beautiful percentages did not appear in any way.

Actually, that's not even important. The gap from world currencies is not bad at all in many respects. Provided that the sectors of the economy focused on domestic demand will work as smoothly as export-oriented ones.

But they do not just need, but unconditionally, the notorious effective demand is needed. Which is impossible by definition without the growth of real incomes of citizens.

Well, with income we are doing, you yourself get through how. One updated living wage is worth something. Not to mention the indexation of pensions, which happened, but for the better has changed almost nothing.

With income - literally throughout Russia, even in wealthy capitals, it is not at all the same as with extortions and with the same prices. After all, for example, gasoline went up in price quite a bit, but why, then, did the prices for public transport soar in 2021?

Or why almost all new roads, so needed by everyone, which are being built at a frantic pace, are almost guaranteed to be paid? Yes, and some clever fines for free travel on the "scarf" are introduced? But more on that later.

In general, we will not expand on the shameless robbing in Moscow and in many other cities (of course, following the example of the capital) of pensioners over 65 and restless students who have had their free travel cards disabled. As they say:

"Calm down - this is a robbery!"


We'll pay for the toll roads


I have no doubt that the Ministry of Transport and Rosavtodor will convince Russians that toll roads are great. In terms of speed and comfort, of course. But it has been paid, hasn't it?

We do not undertake to judge whether the introduction of toll roads makes gasoline cheaper or more expensive. The consumer pays in any case. And then without comfort?

Although, on our own experience, we were convinced that it is only on the M-11 from Moscow to St. Petersburg that there are no big problems either with food or with gas stations. However, in the summer of 2020, when Muscovites together rushed to rest near St. Petersburg, there were big problems at the gas station - and interruptions in gasoline, and queues for an hour and a half.

Other routes, also paid, especially if they are several hundred kilometers from the capitals, in general, do not differ in developed infrastructure, cleaning, or really high-quality coverage.

Moreover, road works both there and on the same M-11 are carried out with frightening regularity. Moreover, they are conducted at intervals not of hundreds, but of tens of kilometers. Those dashing 110 kilometers per hour, and from Tver to Veliky Novgorod - and all 130, allowed on "headscarves", lose all meaning.

No, time savings remain. But only because things are even worse on free roads. Much worse. But why, then, Russian citizens-motorists have to pay for the same, in fact, service three times, more precisely - in fact, even four times.

First, for the car itself, this is time.

Then annually - a tax on cars, without which very few are allowed to do. And that's two.

Regularly - for gasoline with its excise tax and MET. And that's three.

And the calculation on toll roads is already four.

Is it a bit much?

        Yesterday I watched Paris-Dakar, the presenter clearly said that a liter of diesel fuel from the Smaudites costs 10 rubles translated into ours!
        Second, European agencies claim that the Russian ruble at purchasing power parity is underestimated and actually costs 27-30 rubles per dollar!
        Accordingly gasoline in the Russian Federation is 2 times more expensive than in the same states !!!

              As a result of the stupid oil war of the Arabs with Russia, when oil (futures) suddenly collapsed to negative values, the dollar "naturally" jumped by 63 to 75 in wooden ones. The war ended and oil reached its pre-crisis levels. Oil workers began to receive the same profits. And the ruble ... has remained cheap.

              The government, contrary to the Constitution, regularly devalues ​​the national currency, plunging the population into poverty. The level of Russian salaries has already reached African values. Where next, Vladimir Vladimirovich?

          I, of course, wildly apologize, but the ruble before its devaluation in 2014 was worth 30 rubles. And there were times before 2008 and 25. The question is, when did the devaluation happen and the ruble began to grow by 60, Russia began to produce 2 times less products? Obviously not. And this did not affect the population of Russia much, since the bulk of the consumed goods, primarily food and communal services, are produced in Russia for rubles. Only electronics and really imported cars have risen in price (80% of foreign cars sold in Russia are at least collected in Russia). That is, the whole devaluation is only a kick in the ass to those who are not going to substitute import and the foreign manufacturer itself.

          Comparing the price of diesel fuel between the Saudis and ours is incorrect, since in the Arab countries the production itself is much cheaper. As for the quality of oil, there are also questions for specialists, but, for example, the Tatarstan oil contains a lot of sulfur.

          By the way, Europe itself for the most part is sitting on the Russian diesel. fuel.

            You write complete nonsense and have little knowledge of the production chain. All my conscious life I have been associated with production and have gone from a foreman, then a constructor, to a general director and owner of a production company. But this is lyrics, and now to facts and examples.
            We produced corrugated packaging and excellently cooperated with the Arkhangelsk PPM. After the dollar went up in price, our partners simply spat on domestic producers and began to stupidly drive raw materials to the west - it was very profitable for them.
            The second point, our equipment was Italian and all the spare parts rose in price overnight.
            In Dnepropetrovsk, the guys from the former defense industry got ahead of themselves and copied the machines and equipment from the Italians, we switched to them, and after 2014 this was gone.
            In short, the company had to be sold due to unprofitability, and employees in the amount of 153 people were simply fired.

          Russian ruble at purchasing power parity is undervalued


          Not surprising. Weak ruble benefits exporters. The Russian Federation has an export-oriented economy, which is not found in any "developed country", read the metropolis. Naturally, for a metropolitan resident, the price of a commodity (and not absolute, but relative) will be less than for a colony resident.

          In principle, this is the main goal of the colonial system - to put resources at its service (including labor, which is also a resource) of those aborigines, as a result of which the range of goods available to the inhabitants of the metropolis will expand, and their actual cost for them will decrease. Those. the price of goods for the inhabitants of the metropolis is reduced due to the overpayment for the same goods, which is imposed on the natives in the colony.

          The colony government, of course, has a share. Its most important task is to stimulate a constant rise in prices in the colony, the rise of which must constantly exceed the growth in the income of the colony's population, as well as to guarantee the unhindered transfer of a part of the "national income" of the colony to the metropolis. Thus, it turns out that the colony actually subsidizes the metropolis. Of course, who would voluntarily give up such a wonderful system.

              There are many reverse cases. China and Russia in the first half of the last century, Cuba, Vietnam are ultimately concrete examples of the country's withdrawal, i.e. society, from under the actual colonial stranglehold. And very few times when such attempts were unproblematic, i.e. light and fast. At the same time, the basis of colonialism always and everywhere is the implementation of the idea of ​​superiority, directly stated in the philosophical or religious doctrine. So the final problem that we all run into is racism, which takes a variety of forms, including property. And any racism always leads to the same result - to the division into masters and slaves with the inevitable desire of the former to forever fix the achieved status quo.

Although I have a shaky hope that in five years, when everyone, without exception, will understand the abyss in which we are (economic and technological) hands, our leaders will think about real independence.

    So, according to Rosstat (which is more and more difficult to believe every year), prices for AI-95 gasoline in the country have grown over the year by only 2,4 percent. The 92nd allegedly went up in price and did only 2,1 percent
    Yes, even if Rosstat is not lying (although this, of course, is unlikely) - what could be the rise in price against the background of a drop in price (at the moment - totally) oil? Through the looking glass, not otherwise.
    This is a statement by the same Ministry of Energy, which, in fact, has a very indirect relationship to the rise in gasoline prices.
    And we have there, upstairs, along the way, in general, some inappropriate people sit. Well, except for Medvedev, who was worthless and stood out from the general row, for which, 8 years later, he was sent to sleep in another place.
    The gap from world currencies is in many ways not bad at all
    Provided a strong and fairly independent economy. And we are afraid to allow this to happen more than to catch a hussar runny nose.
    Karoch, it's just that our helmsman will once again play with his brows, be surprised at the rise in gasoline prices, give the command to figure it out - and gasoline has risen in price, and will continue to rise in price. It has always been that way. Stability, is it not clear?

It is somewhere there and in the USSR, build a second plant and the price fell automatically, we have some kind of alternating reality. I communicate at work with wealthy businessmen and young people starting a business, and everyone has a common opinion - if less than 300 thousand rubles per month of personal profit, then it is not even worth starting business. From such installations, quirks begin - minus taxes and costs, plus 200 -500% to the price and the wildest exploitation and other delights. The young people argue that they need a car, they need an apartment quickly, they need a way out and influence is desperately needed, and this is money. Who should upset and regulate this nonsense? -And this does not matter, because they are paid for a good sleep and beautiful reports upstairs. There is no other way out except for the one-time scrapping and replacement of many laws in the country. As it is, we will be impoverished to infinity and break through the bottom with negative growth. It is not surprising that the population can be patient and end in one moment with such a b-th in the state of dreams of crime and crooked mirrors. The stock of the population ready to work for a bowl of soup is also coming to an end and the queue behind the fence is already from the fringes, and the children, looking at such a life, have less and less desire to work honestly in such a country.

      The persons involved in this case, indeed, chatted a lot. And the oligarchs themselves and their witnesses. Maybe they didn't want to reveal all the secrets of the business, but British lawyers hyped everything. In the course of the process, it was proved that all Russian capital of the 90s is illegal.
      Look at here:

      Moreover, all these secondary corporatization and privatizations had and have only one goal - to give the loot a slightest appearance of legally earned funds and assets.
      But this is not the most important thing either. The main thing is that this stolen wealth, which legally belongs to the entire people, can be simply taken away through European courts and laws, depriving not only the nouveau riche and their families, but also the Russian people themselves of the right of legal ownership. The example of Mr. Deripaska is on everyone's lips and mind.

      Here it is necessary to separate the flies from the cutlets. Cheats are 200-500%, mainly on small things that can be bought on Aliexpress. That, in fact, the majority does. In the price of gasoline, these are (markups) mainly taxes and excise taxes, retail markups there are measured in percent. Of course, this does not mean that the owners of private gas stations eat up the last ** without salt - they take their own underfilling and fill the gasoline with the left one. And wishlist comers - wanting is not harmful, but who will give them? ) In fact, the owners of small shops have been attracting prices to chain stores and marketplaces for a long time, something can be bought even cheaper. Sitting down - in neglected cases, the concern of the FAS and government departments, as in the case of sunflower oil, is another matter that everything happens slowly and in "manual mode".

Business average physically will not take off without observance of the ugly rules in the Russian Federation-Bugalters, lawyers have to pay, and you have to do it well otherwise the pipe must be observed in your environment, otherwise you will fall out of the cage After all this, you simply have to automatically wind up prices and lower salaries with taxes in ways and only to feed this horde, how the employee feels there is not even talked about and is not seriously discussed. Plus, some asset owners send the charter to steer instead of themselves managers And these, in turn, begin to produce gaskets in order to personally pinch off the assets entrusted to the management and producenepotism in invented departments and for the same purpose. As a result, no one cares about the workers twice. Further, the state, represented by the highest cats and the mad printer of the State Duma, for the third time scores on the workers, and also from their own personal squabbles.

      Firstly, the car is no longer a luxury, but practically a means of production and a tribute to scientific and technological progress.
      Second, the automobile boom at the end of the XNUMXs, and at the same time the almost complete destruction of public municipal and regional transport, this was the main divorce of the authorities.
      Having got a car, the owner must maintain it, pay taxes and refuel, and there is a food base for the authorities.

        Yes, yes, the evil government slipped the car to you in order to tear taxes off you. Interestingly, do you personally build roads with a shovel, or are companies hired by the authorities at the expense of these very taxes?

        As for the garbage, this is ridiculous, no one buys a small car, a typical Russian car today is the "Lada" "Grant" or its foreign counterparts of Russian production. A larger car, of course, is also more expensive, but many people are not that unavailable, they just do not like it corny. Any American sedan, which is considered a full-letngth car by their classification, simply won't fit in our yards.

        As for production, if you go to work on it, then this is not production. This is your personal reluctance to travel by public transport. And it is certainly not a useful production that you drive a car, as well as millions of Russians to the dacha, where for a long time everyone has built a 2-storey house, a light is installed, and there is a 2-meter fence. In general, it is quite a location for temporary residence in the summer, which in principle differs from the almost completely planted potato garden with a minimum tin box on which I had to wave a shovel in the "holy 90s", when I was still a schoolboy, and parents salary not always given on time. Then, by the way, the "six" was really a necessity, since the garden was really far away.

        So you don't have to betray your convenience that you got in and went, you don't have to wait for the bus, for being forced. And total. transport is bent just because everyone has bought cars.

          And in the East you are turning everything upside down!
          At first, public transport was destroyed along with timetables and clear routes, with the transfer of the functional to small private traders who benefit only from profitable routes, and then they slipped the population into a sweet-seeming, but bitter pill in the form of car loans with wild interest rates. And when the citizens hung a collar on themselves in the form of car maintenance and it became fashionable, then they began to raise prices for fuel.

          Somewhere, perhaps, I would have to agree with you ... For a population spoiled by motorization ... (And historically it happened, - for a long time, a / mobile was a kind of fetish for the citizens of the USSR, later, for their descendants. , I think, most of those present got their first experience of communicating with a / mobile in Soviet times, - service, parenting ... Agree, there was a tendency that soon it would be available to everyone, - if, of course, you remember, judging by the comments, You are a few "late").
          Below they write to you about loans (auto loans, .. predatory, - returning to the comments above, - many pay "first" to banks, then for a / mobile, taxes, fuel, roads ...).
          By the way, the "six" in the USSR was a luxury (few people carried potatoes on it).
          About current realities ...
          Roads are being built, well, before NG, at least, migrants from the former Soviet Union. Is this good or bad? It's very bad for me, for a number of reasons.
          I can even imagine your answer, - so go and build! There are a number of "excuses" - health, age, I will not say anything about education)), - is not relevant in today's realities ... I will say differently: in road construction (a lot of former colleagues worked hard in this field), as, probably, everywhere, everything is aimed at refusal;, to a lesser extent, at theft, -well, this is already a tradition that is fading into oblivion (in scale) ...
          Again the thought spread along the tree, excuse me ...
          What public transport are you talking about? Even if you just get to work (from work)?! Two, three transfers (plus the time spent, lunch belay ) - and the question arises: isn't it cheaper to sit at home?
          I don't know about you, but many in our region (Irkutsk region) ask a similar question ... But payments require money ...

        This is not a divorce. This is the typical American approach. There is such a book - Jane Jacobs. Sunset of America. The Middle Ages are ahead.
