The price of gasoline will not rise in Russia, Deputy Minister of Finance Alexei Sazonov said.
The unexpected drop in oil prices will not affect the price of fuel at gas stations, Alexei Sazonov said. The fuel will not become cheaper, of course, but it will not grow more expensive either, he added.
Meanwhile, in the US, car fuel prices began to fall amid a collapse in oil prices, Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes.
Energy Minister Alexander Novak said earlier that Russia uses a special mechanism that keeps fuel prices on the domestic market stable despite fluctuations in oil prices.
