LA targets phenibut with new rules for an unregulated gas-station drug

Los Angeles City Council unanimously voted to have the city attorney draft regulations for phenibut, an unregulated CNS depressant sold widely in convenience stores and gas stations. The proposed rules would restrict sales to people under 21, ban sales near schools and daycare centers, and require warning labels. A final council vote on the ordinance language is needed before it becomes law, as phenibut is marketed as a “smart drug” but poses risks including addiction and potential severe health effects.

Second Wave of Russia’s Fuel Shortages Triggers Moscow Gas Station Rationing

Gas stations in Moscow and surrounding regions have reimposed purchase limits amid a renewed wave of fuel shortages blamed on Ukrainian drone strikes that hit refineries; Gazprom Neft and Tatneft have set caps on gasoline (and diesel for Tatneft), while shortages persist across many regions despite government claims of partial stabilization and an extended export ban to keep supplies in the country; long lines persist as logistics bottlenecks and refinery attacks continue affecting the market.

Russia Battles Fresh Wave of Fuel Shortages as Gas Stations Queue Up Again

Russia is experiencing a renewed fuel shortage with long lines at gas stations and regional purchase limits after strikes on oil facilities. Sochi urged people to limit car use to ease supply, while Orenburg and Lipetsk counties reintroduced odd-even fueling and caps (Orenburg: 30 L gasoline, 60 L diesel). Regions from Krasnodar Krai to Primorsky Krai report shortages and price volatility, with some price drops linked to logistics improvements during Putin’s visits. Deputy Prime Minister Novak convened a meeting to keep fuel delivery uninterrupted, but there has been no official acknowledgement of a nationwide crisis.

Russia escalates civilian targeting with strikes on Ukrainian gas stations

Russia’s campaign expands beyond military targets to Ukrainian gas stations, with more than 200 stations hit in June–July as drones and airstrikes disrupt civilian life near front lines and around Kyiv. CNN confirmed at least 30 gas-station strikes in that period; Ukrainian officials say the aim is to intimidate civilians, while gas workers and evacuees rely on stations as refuges. Zaporizhzhia alone saw 54 gas-station strikes in 24 days, causing deaths and injuries. Western officials warn of potential escalation from Moscow, and the UN has noted June as Ukraine’s deadliest month for civilians since 2022.

Freedom Fuel taps cheap gas in Philly region amid Trump-backed push

In the Philadelphia area, Freedom Fuel stations backed by the Trump administration are selling regular gas around $3.47—cheaper than nearby stations and attracting customers who welcome any savings amid high living costs. Many shoppers aren’t aware of the White House-backed initiative, which the administration touts as lowering pump prices; details on funding and mechanics remain undisclosed. The broader context shows regional gas prices vary, with some stations charging substantially more and the national average around $3.79 on July 7.

Fuel crisis sweeps Russia as Ukraine drone strikes target refineries

CNN finds gasoline shortages or disruptions in nearly all of Russia’s regions, with several declaring heightened alert, as Ukrainian drone strikes hit refineries and repairs lag; production is about 20% below domestic demand, fueling long lines, rationing at gas stations, price controls, and mounting public anxiety while authorities seek stabilization amid ongoing attacks.

Ukraine strikes spark Russia's nationwide fuel shortages

Putin acknowledged that Ukrainian long-range strikes on energy infrastructure are causing fuel shortages across Russia, triggering long lines and clashes at gas stations from Moscow to Siberia as Kyiv targets refineries and depots; Moscow is weighing emergency steps, including allowing lower-quality fuel, while officials warn the conflict is straining Russia’s economy but not yet causing collapse.

Fuel Panic Spreads Across Russia as Attacks Tighten Supply

Ukraine drone attacks on Russia’s oil facilities and supply networks have triggered broad fuel shortages across Russia, prompting rationing in at least 56 regions, rising prices, empty stations, and long lines; remote areas face logistical strains while the government weighs a diesel-export ban to stabilize the domestic market and regional officials urge stockpiling ahead of harvest and winter.

Border gas gap: California pumps far pricier than across the river

Border gas gap: California pumps far pricier than across the river

A CA–AZ border visit shows a stark price split: Needles, CA gas stations were about $6.79 per gallon while a nearby Arco in Arizona sold for roughly $4.15, a $2.64 gap just 1.8 miles apart. California’s higher costs come from a 61-cent-per-gallon state gas tax plus emissions fees and climate programs, versus Arizona’s 18-cent tax. The national average hovers around $3.90, and locals say Californians cross the river to refuel; critics say California energy policies are driving the higher prices even as prices ease nationwide.

Russia Hits Fuel Caps as Refinery Attacks Disrupt Supplies

Gas stations across Moscow and northern Russia have begun limiting fuel purchases amid supply disruptions blamed on Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries. Lukoil is capping at 100 liters, Gazprom at 100–150 liters, ORTK at 60 liters for gasoline and 100 liters for diesel, and General Fueller at 20 liters at all sites, with similar caps reported in St. Petersburg and Karelia. Some regions, including Kaliningrad, have seen price increases, while officials say domestic supply remains stable and there is no nationwide shortage. Crimea has stricter controls with vouchers and caps continuing, reflecting broader regional strain on fuel supplies.

Iranian Hackers Exploit Online Gas Tank Gauges, Officials Warn

US officials suspect Iran-linked hackers exploited unsecured online automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems at gas stations to alter display readings without changing actual fuel levels; no physical damage has been reported, but the breach raises safety concerns about undetected leaks. Attribution remains uncertain, though Iran’s history of targeting energy infrastructure and ongoing regional tensions inform the investigation.

Gas Stations Feel the Squeeze as Wholesale Fuel Costs Rise

Gas Stations Feel the Squeeze as Wholesale Fuel Costs Rise

Gas-station owners are feeling the pinch as wholesale fuel costs rise, credit-card fees and labor costs climb, and margins thin. With stations largely small businesses and the wholesale-retail gap averaging about 22 cents per gallon (about 38.3 cents in gross margin over five years), some operators—like those in Sonoma Valley, CA, and Nutley, NJ—are considering stopping fuel sales or shifting to repairs if prices stay high. Customers are buying less per visit, and price cuts typically lag behind wholesale declines, even as geopolitical tensions add pressure on prices.
