RIA Novosti reports that the shortages have to do with imports from Kazakhstan.

Gas prices may vary by location. I’ve heard of 1000 sum per liter of gasoline now in the Bukhara area – which is higher than we pay here in America.

So I checked the prices, and a 1000 sum is certainly an exaggereation. In fact, there is no place where you can buy gasoline for as much as 500 sum. The best quality (93-octane) gasoline costs 425 sum per litre, which is not even 40 cents.
These shortages occur every fall, because of cotton harvesting, naturally, there is always a shortage of gasoline in our largely planned economy during stress-periods like this one.

Shortages of gasoline have always been a part of life in Tashkent. Unless something else is going on this time, I see no necessity to make this occasion a special one. I will ask around about prices too.
