According to experts, over the past 2010, the retail price for gasoline has increased by 6-9%, which is approximately compared with inflation in Russia. True, the diesel rose much stronger — the cost increased by 23%. What is due to an increase in excise tax and also the lack of a balance and supply balance sheet. Here is the truth of the January increase in fuel prices is more likely to increase the price of oil in the world and an increase in excise taxes. According to Evgeny Arkush, who is the President of the MTA only by increasing excise prices, the amount per ton of oil increased by 2,000 rubles, which provoked growth in retail sales of fuel. Yes, and tax deductions in the FOT have increased by the beginning of 2011 by 10-20% compared to December 2010. Experts also argue that due to the underdevelopment of the market and monopolies of large companies, as a result of the conspiracy, prices jumped immediately by 15% on average.
It is also worth noting that a week ago the antitrust service of the Russian Federation officially warned oil companies that the prices of basic gasoline brands and some other types of fuel were announced closely. It is possible that if the cost of gasoline increases, new trials will occur.
