The results of the survey revealed that almost half of the respondents (42%) is spent for filling machines, more than 4 thousand rubles per month. About 21% of the respondents allocated for this purpose from 3 to 4 thousand rubles. Almost every sixth Respondent (of 17.2%) spends 2 to 3 thousand rubles per month. The amount of 1 to 2 thousand rubles to spend more than 15%, and about 5% of the respondents spend less than 1 thousand rubles.

The online survey gave rise once again to discuss the topic of the cost of motor fuel and its role in the budget motorist. After studying the statistics, the experts ZIPRA note that gasoline is the main item of expenditure, in that case, if the car is regularly maintained.

Liter of AI-92, depending on the region now stands in the range of 41 to 42 rubles, DT - in the range of from 45 to 50 roubles, thus, the hundred kilometers of the city by car or S-class will cost at least 400-500 rubles.

The amount of fuel costs also depend on vehicle class, type and modification of engine and from the working volume of the motor. It is obvious that the atmospheric petrol engine with a displacement of 3500 cm3 (3.5 liters) without turbocharger fuel consumption per 100 km in city mode can be up to 22 litres per 100 km In that time, as a small modern petrol turbo engine of 1000-1500 cm3 (1-1,5 liters) consumption urban cycle is unlikely to exceed 10 liters per 100 km.

The second factor that affects fuel costs, is the frequency, range and duration of travel. It is necessary to consider which categories of motorists use the car in the day time when the roads of major cities uploaded in the evening or weekends, when congestion is almost none.

"Important factors influencing the dynamic performance and fuel consumption, are also the style of riding and the load of the car" - said the Director of CIPRA Andrey Bystrov.

According to the Federal state statistics service (Rosstat) from 26 February to 4 March, gasoline prices for the week have not changed. But diesel fuel is reduced by 0.1% for the fifth week in a row, starting from January 29. According to Bystrov, it may indicate that the measures taken last autumn, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, Ministry of energy and FAS to curb fuel prices of light oil products work. It is worth noting that the cost is more economical motor fuel by the end of February 2019 also declined by 4.5%. Since the beginning of year gasoline has risen in price for 0,5%, diesel - by 1.1%.
