When oil prices climbed to $130 in 2008, smart uncles on television and on the Internet said that the price of gasoline in our country is due to the rise in commodity prices. Okay, I thought, we’ll wait until oil prices go down. A year later, the price of oil dropped twice, and the same uncles began to say that gasoline in Russia is expensive, because of the fact that the price of gasoline in Russia is high. Oil companies are trying to cover the missing profits from selling oil abroad.



Last year, the price of oil fell even stronger and financial analysts said that gasoline rose due to the falling rate of the ruble. And recently the news is coming to the eye that in 2016 the ruble will continue to weaken and because of this will continue to increase the price of gasoline.



The latter is generally a universal scam: gasoline prices pull the prices for everything else, because of this there is inflation, because of which gasoline prices rise, and so it is possible to endlessly.



I am, of course, not an expert, but I think there is someone somewhere who gets money for inventing excuses for the steadily rising prices of gasoline in our country.
