Three new Gazprom stations have opened in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region to refuel cars with natural gas - eco—friendly and economical motor fuel. This is stated in the company's message.

New gas filling stations are built on the popular routes of gas-powered transport. One of them — on the inner side of the Ring Road, where St. Petersburg and the Vsevolozhsky district of the Leningrad Region border - has started operating in the commissioning mode. Two more — in the village of Levashovo, Vyborg district of St. Petersburg and the city Tosno of the Leningrad region — started commercial gas supply.

The stations can fill up to 810 units of equipment with eco-friendly fuel every day. Among the key consumers are city buses and taxis, as well as transit cars following the route "Moscow — St. Petersburg". The commissioning of three new automotive gas-filling compressor stations has expanded Gazprom's gas filling network in the North-Western Federal District to 55 facilities.

Natural gas (methane) — the most economical and environmentally friendly motor fuel. The cost of a kilometer of methane for passenger vehicles is about 2 rubles. By consumption of 1 cubic meter . a meter of methane is equivalent to 1 liter of gasoline. Methane-powered vehicles have repeatedly proven their reliability during extensive international car rallies and sports competitions.
