Much depends on fuel quality. Poor gasoline can reduce engine life, worsen engine start-up and adversely affect the dynamics of an iron horse. Alas, the fears of the drivers were not in vain - last year, by direct instruction of the President of Russia, the Prosecutor General and Rosstandart conducted many inspections of gas stations. The test results were disappointing - more than a third of all fuel was of poor quality. Therefore, it is important for Russian motorists to know where it is worth refueling.
Gas station rating for gasoline quality compiled on the basis of research by Rosstandart and driver reviews on the Otzovik and Irecommend websites, where every day thousands of users express their opinions on goods and services.
10. Phaeton
One of the oldest fuel operators in the country, represented mainly in the northern capital and the region. Phaeton's gas stations are equipped with an additional 24-hour supermarket, cafe and even a pharmacy, as well as a car wash, tire inflation and tire service. Representatives of Phaeton buy oil products from the Kirishi and Yaroslavl refineries and claim that they constantly monitor the quality of fuel. Some motorists are unhappy that after refueling AI95 the car is worse to drive, or even to stall.
9. Bashneft
Users generally note acceptable gasoline quality (with the exception of certain gas stations in the Ulyanovsk region), but they negatively respond to the quality of service.
8. Tatneft
Motorists have a very good opinion or a very bad opinion about gas stations in Tatneft - there are practically no average ratings. Some note cleanliness, convenience, a tasty menu, clean toilets and excellent quality gasoline, on which an iron friend runs like he had never run before. Others indicate the exact opposite: the car goes jerky, prolonged acceleration, and even the replacement of the catalyst and gasoline pump. Therefore, only the 8th line of the rating goes to this network of gas stations.
7. Sibneft
Although the activities of SibNeft in the beginning were limited to the Tomsk region, now gas stations of this network have spread throughout the Russian Federation. In 2013, the company developed a new fifth-class Prime fuel with improved performance. It is claimed that this fuel reduces engine maintenance costs, reduces the rate of contamination of engine oil, and extends the life of spark plugs. In addition, it is more environmentally friendly.
6. Track
Reviews and ratings of gas stations The track for the quality of gasoline is mostly positive. They note the excellent quality of service, cleanliness, a comfortable relaxation area and the courtesy of staff (there are tankers). And, of course, good quality gasoline.
5. TNCs
Good gasoline for good money, which is well accepted even by cars with moody engines. It is noted that 92 is rather overrated, but the quality of 92 is quite good. However, the courtesy and agility of the staff leaves much to be desired.
4. Shell
According to users, the only minus of the network of gas stations from the international oil giant is their number. They note the excellent quality of gasoline and its economical consumption. Particularly motorists like Shell V-Power gasoline, which is equipped with additives for more efficient and dynamic engine operation.
3. Gazpromneft
An honest octane number, an acceptable price with good quality, the availability of additional services and polite staff - these are the things that make Gazpromneft gas stations at the 3rd place in the rating of gas stations in Russia, Moscow and St. Petersburg in terms of gasoline quality. However, it is noted that the quality of gasoline may vary - it depends on the suppliers.
2. Lukoil
Car enthusiasts note the diversity of fuels; in addition to the "ordinary" (quite good quality) there is also the so-called Ecto plus fuel, in which there are many special additives to extend the life of the engine and its greater environmental safety. However, there are also disadvantages - for example, it is highly likely that the quality of gasoline in small cities can be far from ideal.
1. Rosneft
Rosneft tops the rating of gas stations for gasoline quality, providing good fuel at affordable prices. The staff is polite. There is a discount program and promotions are regularly held to reduce the price of fuel. Gas stations can provide additional services, for example, pumping wheels and a vacuum cleaner for the cabin, as well as pour gasoline into the canister.
