You have to be on guard when you travel to Russia based on this interesting story, I see. I had a friend several years ago who planned to drive to Moscow from Belgium. A lot of redtape including gas cupons had to be purchased in advance. He was asked if he wanted regular or super-octane gas. Of course to be on the safe side, he selected super-octane. So with a bunch of super-octane gas cupons he set out for Moscow only to discover that the gas stations along the way in Russia were out of super-octane gas. They wouldn't accept his gas cupons to buy regular gas so he had to fork over his rubles to and from Moscow for the regular gas he bought. This occurred about 15 years ago so the situation may have changed today. If I were to travel to Russia I would definitely travel with a tour group.
