The price increase continues. Military determined the leaders based on the most impressive average bill for a visit to a gas station. First place was expected to go to Moscow. And Krasnodar broke through to second place, overtaking the northern capital.

Curious data on the average service costs at a gas station after analyzing 320,000 work orders issued in the first half of 2023 is provided by the car service network Fit Service. The most expensive checks for this period were received by residents of Moscow and Krasnodar – 11,203 and 10,362 rubles, respectively. The third place by a small margin was taken by St. Petersburg, where an average of 10,233 rubles was paid for repairs. The TOP-5 leaders also included Kazan and Perm.

It is easy to guess that the presence on the stage of both capitals, as well as the center of the southern tourist industry, is explained by the most advanced and expensive vehicle fleet, the active use of cars and the abundance of transit transport.

At the same time, analysts point to a widespread rise in services prices. Kazan was especially “distinguished”, where, compared to the first half of 2022, the cost of the service increased by 51% at once. Perm angry about an increase in the price of gas stations by 43%, Nizhny Novgorod – by 35%. In Vladivostok, the average check grew the least (+3%). There is also the most inexpensive service – an average of 6206 rubles – which experts explain by the proximity of the source of cheap components: Japan. By the way, Moscow and St. Petersburg are rising in price at an average pace: they added 28% and 26% each in six months.

The military also calculated that from July 2023, despite the increase in component prices, Russians will use services more often than in 2022. And this confirms the statement that the Russian car fleet is aging. So, according to the Ministry of Economic Development, the average age of a car in Russia has increased by five years over the past nine years. The call is very disturbing.
