Sky-high fuel costs and meager wages: Krasnodar region ranked among the top 10 for fuel affordability struggles.
Revamped Article:
Hear this, folks! Krasnodar Krai clocks in at a modest 46th spot in Russia when it comes to gasoline affordability, as per a study done by RIA Novosti. So, guess how much fuel residents can snag with their average monthly earnings? A whopping 1,043 liters of that sweet, sweet AI-92 gasoline! That's more than the crowds in Rostov who can scrape together just 968 liters on their paychecks. But hey, kudos to the champions, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Moscow, and Chukotka, where residents are loaded, averaging over 2,000 liters of fuel! The national average? A still-respectable 1,385 liters [1].
Say, what's the deal with Kuban's rising fuel prices during the tourist season? We heard a chap who knows his stuff spill the beans to "Live Kuban".

- Intriguing Fact: It's interesting to note that while fuel costs have skyrocketed for local farmers [5], there's no solid evidence at the moment suggesting gasoline prices specifically jumped up in May 2025 for regular consumers. Russia's first quarter of 2025 saw some dips in oil prices, but bigwigs like Gazprom were still raking in the cash thanks to higher export gas prices [1]. No official announcements or forecasts from major fuel suppliers or authorities indicate a gasoline price increase for the Kuban region during that month. So, for now, it's all rumors and no concrete facts!
- In the midst of rising fuel prices during the tourist season in Kuban, there seems to be no definitive link established between the increase and the specific gasoline prices in May 2025, as per the information available.
- Despite various sectors encountering a surge in fuel costs, it's uncertain whether there has been a hike in gasoline prices for regular consumers, given that the first quarter of 2025 witnessed some fluctuations in oil prices, with the energy sector, such as Gazprom, managing to maintain substantial revenue due to higher export gas prices.
