Russia is taking action to reduce the demand for gasoline, one engine at a time.
That's how corruption and organized crime ends up causing way more damage than it makes in profit.
Make an extra 100 bucks in profit from diluting fuel, cause 10000 bucks in damages.
Don't forget the gain of 10000 bucks in the repair shop they're running.
how much of that goes to Chinese manufacturers of replacement parts though?
A lot more than goes to the slaves that actually do the work to manufacture the fake items.
That slime is putin robbing you russian dipshits blind for 20 years.
Next gen biofuel, Russian innovation

I'm mildly curious about what that slime is, precisely. Some sorta.. spoiled gasoline? Mixed with cooking oil or some shit?
Believe it or not, there are bacteria that live on surface of fuels and oxidize them for energy. Sometimes there are antibacterial additives, sometimes they are filtered off, but sometimes these just fall down to the bottom of storage barrel at gas station. This, mixed with rust and a little of water, forms that sludge. They see that because gas station runs out of fuel
Ever left some 15% ethanol blend in a container for a year without stabalizer? Oopsy on my part but it formed small chunks. Also turned a bright yellow.
I would guess they are pushing the ethanol percentage combined with higher contaminates in the fuel.
That isn't ethanol that is the ethanol can be mixed with worse gasoline.
Diesel I'd bet.
That wouldn't make much economic sense. It'd be like using heroin to cut cocaine (I'm trying to say something similarly priced, not sure if my example fits).
I'm told that Russia has an alternative means for making diesel that doesn't involve refining crude oil. You can make diesel from cooking oil and coal. The shortage doesn't effect diesel the way it does gasoline.
Could also be high concentrations of ethanol, which (if otherwise contaminated with water and debris) would cause goopy sludge to appear.
Who knows? You could even have different agents at different points in the refining and distribution process each cutting it with "something" and by the time it gets pumped into a car it could have multiple adulterants in it that are reacting with unintended effects.
Can someone explain Morgan Freeman and The Rock in the marketing material behind him?
Fake endorsements from American celebrities are quite common in a lot of foreign countries. The ripped Morgan Freeman isn't fooling anyone, I hope.
I donβt care about Russia and their gas problems. I just know that I now need a poster of jacked Morgan Freeman.
