Question Keeping abreast of Fuel prices - Russia & Mongolia

Hi All as per the title really, wondered if anyone kew a good resource for getting fuel prices whilst travelling in this area, with the global economy yo-yo its hard to get accurate recent figures (though I did discover the government of russia is investigating the big 4 oil producers to find why the price has not dropped in line with crude oil price drop at present - so theres hope there)

TIA

Near moscow (200km in Ryazan)at present decreased 25 rubles down to 23 rubles!!
It will not come down as the government is the oil companies and gets most of its taxes from this, all smoke and mirrors

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
