LUKoil-Permnefteprodukt introduced new, increased petrol prices at its filling stations in Perm Territory, Kirov Region, and Sverdlovsk Region. AI 80 now costs 18.8 RUR per liter (this is .2 RUR/liter more expensive than before), AI 92 is sold for 21.6 RUR per liter (this is .4 RUR/liter more expensive than before), AI 95 costs 23.1 RUR per liter (this is .3 RUR/liter more expensive than before), AI 98 costs 25.4 RUR per liter (this is .6 RUR/liter more expensive than before), and diesel fuel is available for 21.9 RUR per liter (this is .4 RUR/liter more expensive than before).

The main cause of price increases is the growing wholesale fuel prices: these have gone up by 15% to 20% on average since the beginning of the year.
