While some Ukrainian drivers stood in kilometer-long queues at gas stations to buy fuel, our other fellow citizens ordered gasoline without leaving their homes.
Liga.net writes about this.
It is noted that the shortage of fuel in Ukraine provoked a demand for home delivery of gasoline. So, on the Kabanchik.ua website, journalists were told that in May the number of such orders increased by 780% compared to April and 900% compared to May last year.
Most often, Ukrainians order delivery of the 95th gasoline. Drivers are asked to bring fuel to the address and pour it into the tank of the car, or simply hand over a canister of gasoline. Usually they order 20-30 liters of fuel, but there are orders for 50-70 liters.
At the height of the gasoline crisis, the total amount of orders exceeded UAH 107,000. You have to pay the courier for delivering gasoline to your home 270 UAH.
Business in Ukrainian
Resourceful Ukrainians, looking for new ways to increase income, decided to capitalize on the situation with fuel shortages. “Entrepreneurs” offered to stand in line at a gas station for payment, of course.
For an hour they asked for 200 UAH, if more, then 130 UAH. And the cost of gasoline was reimbursed separately.
Earlier, we wrote about current gasoline prices at Ukrainian gas stations, and told how Ukrainians joked on social networks about the gasoline crisis.
