In foreign currency terms, prices decreased in proportion to the cost of oil, which Belarusian refineries buy in the Russian Federation for foreign currency according to the price formula.

Comparison of prices for oil and oil products is presented in the table:

Thus, for the period from July 1, 2015 to February 5, 2016 in US dollars, taking into account the exchange rate of the Belarusian ruble, retail prices for motor fuel decreased in the same way as the price of oil, by an average of 28.7 percent.

The cost of fuel at Belarusian filling stations remains the lowest among neighboring countries, except for the Russian Federation.

The following grades of diesel automotive fuel are offered:

DT-L-K5 grade C with a maximum filtering temperature not higher than “minus” 5°C, sold from April 1 to October 31;

DT-Z-K5 grade F with a limiting filterability temperature not higher than “minus” 20°C, sold from November 1 to March 31;

DT-Z-K5 class 2 with limiting filterability temperature not higher than "minus" 32°C, cloud point not higher than "minus" 22°C (the so-called "Arctic"), sold from November 1 to March 31.

The main low-temperature parameters of winter varieties diesel fuel, characterizing the mobility of the fuel at a negative temperature, are the limiting filterability temperature, the cloud point.

The filterability limit temperature is the temperature at which paraffin crystals reach a size that causes problems with filtration and pumping of fuel in the vehicle's power system. To provide normal operation engine, it is necessary that the filterability temperature of diesel fuel be lower than the ambient air temperature.

The cloud point is the temperature at which paraffin crystals begin to nucleate; at this temperature, the fuel begins to become cloudy under test conditions. At the same time, when cloudy, diesel fuel does not lose fluidity, i.e. retains its functionality.

The Concern recommends that motorists use diesel fuel with improved low-temperature characteristics (Arctic) if the temperature drops from minus 15-17°C and below. This allows you to maintain the performance of the fuel systems of the most modern engines internal combustion with a significant drop in ambient temperature.

Successful operation of the car engine in winter period depends not only on physicochemical and performance indicators fuel, but also technical characteristics fuel system, performing preparatory measures for the operation of the car in the cold season.

We also note that fuel tank car in such weather conditions must be filled in order to reduce the possibility of condensation forming on the walls of the tank and getting into the fuel. If the car does not start, the first thing to check is fuel filter, battery charging, glow plug status.

At present, motorists' complaints about the quality of diesel fuel when contacting the concern are not confirmed.

For example, on January 4, 2016, citizen S. applied to the concern, whose car could not be started on January 1 after refueling at an industry gas station on December 30. At the concern's initiative and in the presence of its representatives, the examination and diagnostics of the car were carried out in a company service center, the regular customer of which is the owner of the car. It turned out that the reason for the inoperability of a 4-year-old car was a defect in the glow plug strip and weakness battery. Fuel analysis performed by a certified laboratory, taken from the engine tank by specialists service center, showed that its quality complied with the declared parameters (the actual value of the limiting filterability temperature was "minus" 26°C at a rate not higher than "minus" 20°C).

The operational information of the Minsk Regional Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations about the reasons for the stop of a tractor hit by a train on railway crossing in the Dzerzhinsky district. The analyzes of diesel fuel from the reservoir and the arbitration fuel sample at the gas station where the tractor was refueled excluded the possibility of stopping the tractor due to the quality of the fuel sold at the gas station. The fuel complied with the standards, including the limiting filterability temperature (arbitration test: the fact is “minus” 30°C, while the standard is not higher than “minus” 20°C).

Our organization fully controls the quality of motor fuel produced by Belarusian refineries and sold by Belorusneft gas stations.

We guarantee the compliance of the Belarusian diesel fuel and gasoline sold in the branch network of filling stations with all the declared quality parameters.

The concern recommends that motorists familiarize themselves with the quality certificate of the fuel sold before refueling the car and give preference to Belarusian fuel at Belorusneft filling stations, the quality of which is guaranteed by the industry control system.

Currently, the State Standard of the Republic of Belarus, on the initiative of Belneftekhim, is conducting quality checks of automotive fuel at filling stations, including the concern's systems.

How is fuel quality controlled at filling stations of the Belneftekhim concern?

To what extent do the quality indicators of gasoline and diesel fuel produced by Belarusian oil refineries correspond to the technical requirements of European standards?

grade C limiting filterability temperature not higher than "minus" 5°C;

grade D limiting filterability temperature not higher than "minus" 10°C;

grade E limiting filterability temperature not higher than “minus” 15°C;

grade F limiting filterability temperature is not higher than "minus" 20°C.

The limiting filterability temperature is the most significant technical requirement when using diesel fuel in winter. Therefore, at the filling stations of the group's system, winter grade F diesel fuel is sold annually from November 1 to March 31, which has a maximum filtering temperature of no higher than “minus” 20°C, and actually reaches “minus” 25°C.

At present, Belarusian refineries have launched the production of Arktika diesel fuel, the maximum filtering temperature of which is “minus” 30 ° C and below.

Each batch of oil product delivered from the refinery to the tank farm is accompanied by a quality certificate confirming the compliance of the fuel with GOST and TU. After the oil product is discharged into the tanks of the tank farm, a combined sample is taken and checked in the laboratory of the tank farm. When delivering fuel to gas stations, each fuel truck is accompanied by a factory quality certificate with a stamp from the tank farm laboratory. Before draining at the gas station, a sample is taken from the fuel truck, which is stored until full implementation oil product. Buyer on filling station entitled to demand a quality certificate. It indicates at which refinery the fuel was produced, its specifications, conclusion on compliance with GOST or TU.

In addition, at least once a month, a fuel sample is taken and checked from the tanks at the gas station.

All checks and tests are carried out by laboratories accredited in the State Standard system, equipped with the necessary equipment.

At present, all petrol stations common use equipped with special computer system(STB 1364.6-2002), which provides a single closed cycle of automated accounting for sold petroleum products and proceeds from their sale. The system provides for the operator to turn on the fuel dispenser only through a computer that has a fiscal memory that records all operations for the delivery of fuel and the receipt of fuel. Money available only to the tax inspector. This technology contributes to the safety of fuel and its quality indicators.

The filling stations of the concern also carry out the necessary measures in a timely manner to maintenance equipment, including tank cleaning, in accordance with the Rules technical operation gas station.

Tests are carried out on the basis of a concluded contract (provision of a paid service) according to indicators accredited for this laboratory.

In addition, the testing laboratories of the Ministry of Defense (Gorodishche settlement), the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Minsk), LUKOIL-Belarus IOOO (Kolyadichi settlement) also have the ability to check the quality indicators of automotive fuel.

Automotive gasolines AI-92 and AI-95 meet the requirements of the Euro-5 standard.

As required technical regulation Customs Union"On the requirements for automotive and aviation, diesel and marine fuel, fuel for jet engines and fuel oil" since December 31, 2014, the domestic market of the Republic of Belarus allows the circulation of motor gasoline and diesel fuel only of class 5 (corresponding to the requirements of the Euro-5 standard).

The revision of prices was also made due to the fact that with the introduction of Russian Federation Since January 1, 2015, the tax maneuver, the cost of Russian oil in comparable conditions for Belarus has increased. Belarusian refineries process only Russian crude oil, which is purchased for foreign currency exclusively on prepayment and at a price determined by a special formula.

In dollar terms, fuel prices have declined.

The decision to change motor fuel prices from 13.01.2015 has passed the appropriate approval procedure.

1. Fill out the electronic application form (http://www.belorusneft.by/sitebeloil/ru/center/azs/center/card/contract/) or send the details of your company specified in electronic form, to the address of one of the corporate client service offices of PO Belorusneft (see the list below) at e-mail or fax with the note "For the conclusion of the contract."

You will be informed about the readiness of documents for signing no later than 2 working days.

2. After receiving a message about the readiness of documents, visit the Belorusneft office of your choice in order to conclude an agreement, while providing the following package of documents:

Copies of constituent documents certified by the enterprise (certificate of state registration, charter);

No, do not think, the warmest, there are just some thoughts that prompted me to write this text.
Because HBO is installed on the car with a cylinder for a spare tire, which can hold a maximum of 45 liters, then I am a very frequent guest at gas stations. I go there every day, fill in 30 liters, which is enough for me for a day of work.
But it may not be enough if the work is in full swing. And if so, then you have to call in again and this happens already at night. I tried to refuel up to one cylinder, but I still do not have enough for 2 days of work, and so and so I go to the gas station as well as to work every day.

So: apparently, the gas station chains are doing poorly, which is why they decided that it would be unprofitable to keep gas filling station operators even at night, and therefore they limited the operating time somewhere to 20, and where to 23 hours. This applies not only to Belorusneft, but to everyone else. The A-100 network stands apart: they proudly declare that all their filling stations work around the clock! I did not specifically check it, but I refueled a couple of times at night.

Why, you ask, Belorusneft? For several reasons: extensive network, gas quality, loyalty program…
But the fact that in Minsk there is only one gas station known to me works around the clock - that's what depresses! The employees themselves do not know where there are round-the-clock gas stations!
There is another nuance related to the work schedule. When driving to a gas station, there is a huge display with fuel prices, everyone knows and understands this. So, the price of gas is on fire, but you cannot buy it, that is, you drive to the gas station, sometimes you make a detour, in the hope of replenishing stocks, and there... that's right: a barrier, or a sign with a work schedule right under the "food to the column! On the "ride you need to set the time of work, on the" ride! I "visited" a couple of gas stations out of primality and naivety, and then I decided to ask the responsible persons of the network what they think about it.
In my personal account (the loyalty program rules) there is an opportunity to ask a question, which I took advantage of: a question was asked about where I can see the work graph gas refueling and why the price of gas is on at night, but there is no way to buy it.
Literally the next day, I received a reply:

Good day!

In the context of your request, we would like to inform you that:

1. Scheme of placement of filling stations RUE " Production Association"Belorusneft" on the territory of the republic and their work schedule can be found on our website belorusneft.by by scoring the question "Working schedule of gas filling stations RUE" PA "Belorusneft"

2. On the second issue, a letter of recommendation was sent to regional enterprises providing petroleum products - to switch off the type of fuel "gas" when the gas filling station is not working or to use another method that promptly informs potential customers about the non-working gas filling station (in the absence of gas or for some other reason)

confused, understand, i.e. there is absolutely no desire to climb into the jungle.
On the second point, I want to note that if somewhere I saw price tags at night, now I have stopped noticing them. Perhaps this is a coincidence.

Well, today, going as usual, I parked the car in the guest parking as usual and went to the WC as usual, and then returned to the store to the car and noticed the usual sign

"Vehicles without an owner are subject to evacuation"! How is that? Those. Do I need to come with someone to go to the store? And this someone will go to the store and go to the toilet for me?! :-D
It’s clear that this is nonsense, but it’s not necessary, maybe such home-made replication plates for print FIVE

Filling station network in Belarus: an investigation from Transportal.

On this moment Belarus has five largest gas station networks:
• - Gas station Belorusneft,


• - Lukoil,


• - A-100,


• - Gazpromneft,


• - United Company.

Every day, thousands of drivers are wondering where is the best place to refuel their car. Some have long had their favorites among gas stations, while others refuel on occasion, where necessary.

Nevertheless, there are many factors, after analyzing which you can rank the filling stations of the network and choose the best one!

About two years ago, journalists from the TRANSPORTAL portal conducted an experiment and found out whether the fuel in Belarus was of high quality. It turned out that all the fuel meets the standards. Hence, fuel quality will not affect the place in the ranking the best gas stations networks in Belarus.

Next is the cost of fuel. Here the situation is more interesting. Everyone knows that the Belneftekhim concern sets fuel prices. For the convenience of foreign guests, these prices are daily converted into Russian rubles, dollars and euros at the rate of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus. This means that fuel prices in Belarus are fixed, only gas prices are minimal, but in reality, completely different numbers can be seen at gas stations. Despite this seemingly completely static and unchanging situation, one can sometimes find nice bonuses. For example, in the filling stations of the A-100 network at AAZS No. 8, special fuel prices apply: DT 12,200 Belarusian rubles, AI 92,11,000 Belarusian rubles. rub., AI 95 11,800 rub. There are also special gas prices in Vitebsk at gas stations No. 33 and No. 34 - 5,500 rubles. In addition, there are numerous promotions, discount and accumulation cards, coupons.

Company website information Lukoil offers to buy AI-92-K5-Euro gasoline (at gas stations No. 58, 31, 32) for 10,500 Belarusian rubles. rub., and gasoline AI-92-K5-Euro for 10,600 Bel. rub. (which is 600 and 500 rubles less than the fixed price, respectively). This fact cannot but please drivers, because A-92 fuel is the most common.

In the network of filling stations "Belorusneft" there is a discount system in which the buyer accumulates points, thus reducing the cost of the next liters of fuel.

In the network of filling stations Gazpromneft there is a loyalty program "Together with us", the participants of which, upon presentation discount card receive a 2% discount.

In addition to fuel quality and cost, every driver would like to have a good service when refueling, and not a single half-working dispenser. On the company website Lukoil It is very convenient to see what can be found at a particular gas station. In this case, the driver will know in advance what to expect from the gas station.

On the company website "A-100" presented a huge list additional services, pleasant moments good service, however, it is not indicated at which gas station this is present, and at which it is not. A sane person will understand that all the services of the service at the same time simply will not fit at one small gas station. Therefore, before the trip, you should think about whether it will not be very upsetting that the station does not have a temporary residence point or tickets for the concert presented in the list.

In the network of filling stations "Belorusneft" there is an interesting offer to pay for roads in the BelToll system using a fuel card. No other network has such an offer; this immediately distinguishes Belorusneft from its competitors. However, other than this offer, the company's service cannot be called "perfect", rather just "good".

gas station network Gazpromneft does not even try to keep regular customers. This is most likely due to the fact that the company freely works with wholesalers and corporate clients. This network is famous for its charity events, creative approach to work (for example, an action on April 1, when customers at gas stations were served by Belarusian stars). But for the average client, this network will not seem particularly good against the background of all the above.

Filling station network « Unitedcompany" has long established itself in the international market. With the service of this network petrol stations hard to match for anyone. The interface of the company's website will tell you exactly where you can find the services you are interested in (while choosing a set of needed services). Unlike A-100, this company is trusted by customers. If you already liked the United Company network once, then it will become a favorite. Although, unlike others, there are no discount cards, promotions, coupons, separate stations where any fuel is cheaper. Due to high-quality service, you can not spend money on attracting customers and reducing the cost of the fuel itself.

According to Transportal, the best gas station network in Belarus is...

We tried to find out the main pros and cons of the largest gas station chains in Belarus. A-100 wins in the nomination “The most economical gas station network” with all promotions, bonuses, allocated gas stations, coupons and cards. Belorusneft wins in the nomination “The most special gas station network”, because only here there is a road payment service. The victory in the nomination "The most comfortable gas station network" goes to Lukoil, which has become the golden mean. There are gas stations with cheaper and most common gasoline, a convenient website, a large number of gas stations with service for the assessment of “good with a plus”. In the nomination "The most charitable gas station network" naturally wins "Gazpromneft", which spares no effort, no money, no time for this good deed. Well, the winner among the winners, the most-most gas station network, is the United Company for constant order, cleanliness, excellent service, albeit without lowering fuel prices.
