My local gas fueling station, Moscow region. There were times when it was not working or there was only one kind of fuel present. Now for a week straight every fuel is there and there's no queue.
And some AI-assisted context:
User's initial prompt:
The fuel prices on the sign are in rubles. Convert them into dollars and euros at the current exchange rate, and compare the prices with those in Europe and the USA.
Assistant's response:
The sign shows prices per 1 liter (this is the standard in Russia). For the conversion, I have taken today's approximate exchange rates (July 27, 2026): 1 USD ≈ 86 RUB, 1 EUR ≈ 93 RUB (the rates are floating, actual figures may vary slightly).
Conversion to USD and EUR per liter:
· 92 gasoline (68.39 ₽): ≈ 0.80 USD / 0.74 EUR
· 95 gasoline (75.59 ₽): ≈ 0.88 USD / 0.81 EUR
· 98 gasoline (78.19 ₽): ≈ 0.91 USD / 0.84 EUR
· Diesel (81.89 ₽): ≈ 0.95 USD / 0.88 EUR
Comparison with prices in the USA and Europe:
🇺🇸 USA (prices are in gallons, 1 gallon = 3.785 liters):
To compare with US prices, let's convert the Russian cost into USD per gallon:
· 92: $0.80 × 3.785 ≈ $3.03 per gallon
· 95: $0.88 × 3.785 ≈ $3.33 per gallon
· 98: $0.91 × 3.785 ≈ $3.44 per gallon
· Diesel: $0.95 × 3.785 ≈ $3.60 per gallon
Conclusion for the USA: Currently, the average gasoline price in the US ranges from roughly $3.30 – $3.80 per gallon (depending on the state). This puts the Russian prices (especially for 92 and 95) at or slightly below the US average. Diesel in Russia, by US standards, is relatively expensive (almost matching the premium 98).
🇪🇺 Europe:
Prices in Europe are traditionally high due to taxes.
· The average gasoline price in Europe currently ranges from €1.60 to €2.00 per liter (depending on the country, for example, in Italy or Germany).
Conclusion for Europe: Russian prices (0.74–0.88 euros per liter) are almost 2.5 times lower than European prices. A liter of 95 in Russia costs the same as a half-liter of 95 in Europe.
