What happened in 2025
Last year was significant: gasoline prices rose almost twice as fast as inflation, even despite the intervention of the Federal Antimonopoly Service and a temporary reduction in prices by the end of the year.
Early 2026: a temporary lull According to analysts, winter traditionally reduces fuel demand. That is why relative price stability is possible at the beginning of the year.
Why prices may rise are among the key factors: — reduction of payments under the damping mechanism; — the desire of oil companies to compensate for lost revenues at the expense of the domestic market; — possible weakening of the ruble; — restoration of fuel exports with normalization of the situation. At the same time, an increase in excise taxes in 2026 is not planned — this is a deterrent factor that makes growth less drastic than in 2025.
Forecasts for 2026
Experts estimate a possible price increase:
— gasoline and diesel: on average by 4-7%;
— in some periods, growth may outpace inflation;
— diesel looks more stable due to the surplus production.
We remind you that in our studio it is possible to reduce fuel consumption by 20%+. We have already achieved stable results on all Chinese 2.0 engines. For example, on our Tank, the average flow rate is kept within 10-12 liters per 100 km. Why does this happen if the power is increasing
It's simple: after setting up, efficiency and torque increase, so you don't need to put the gas on the floor for the usual pace of movement. The car drives easier — it takes less fuel.
