Novorossiysk Fuel Prices Rise, Still Lower Than Sochi and Krasnodar Average
Novorossiysk Tops Market with AII-92 Pricing
In the past week, a liter of AI-92 gasoline in Novorossiysk has reached 58.48 rubles, according to "Krasnodarstat". This city's fuel prices are noticeably higher than those in its nearby counterparts, Sochi and Krasnodar.
Interestingly, the cheapest fuel in the regional capital is 56.81 rubles, making Novorossiysk a relatively pricier choice for fuel. On the other hand, AI-95 gasoline costs 64.59 rubles in Sochi and a slightly lesser 62.70 rubles in Krasnodar. This positions Krasnodar as the most affordable location for AI-95 gasoline among the three cities.
Recently, we reported that FAS (Federal Antimonopoly Service) will increase the tariff for diesel transportation to Novorossiysk. The transportation cost is projected to rise by 9.5% due to these changes.
Factors Impacting Fuel Prices
Fuel prices in Russia are primarily influenced by global oil prices, domestic production costs, and transportation fees. Compared to several European countries, Russia's fuel prices are typically lower, due in part to government policies and the country's vast oil production.
transportation costs of diesel fuel, like other petroleum products, can fluctuate based on logistics, demand, and geopolitical developments. In February 2025, Russia's maritime exports of petroleum products from its Black and Azov Sea ports showed substantial activity, with around 181 tankers transporting approximately 12.9 million tons of cargo. This heavy reliance on sea routes for oil product exports may indirectly affect domestic transportation costs by impacting supply and demand dynamics.
As the largest port in Russia, Novorossiysk plays a crucial role in oil product transportation. Any disruptions in supply, demand, or logistics at this port could potentially impact the transportation costs of diesel fuel in the region.
In summary, while precise current fuel prices for Novorossiysk, Sochi, and Krasnodar remain unspecified, considering the broader context of the Russian fuel market and transportation dynamics can help in estimating changes in diesel transportation costs. It is advisable to consult local fuel station data or official Russian energy reports for the most accurate pricing information.
