Amid fuel supply disruptions in several regions, another tool has appeared to help figure out where you can actually fill up with gas. T-Bank has released a free online gas station map with availability forecasts for AI-92 and AI-95 fuel. The key difference from traditional gas station aggregators is that the data is based on actual card purchases through the bank, not on network advertising. While some are keeping track of what’s happening in the State Duma, others are already solving a more pressing problem — where to fill up in 2026.
New gas service from T-Bank
How the T-Bank Gas Station Map Works
T-Bank’s map shows not just a list of gas stations, but a forecast of whether they actually have fuel right now. According to the bank, the map features more than 20,000 gas stations where gasoline purchases have been recorded, and information is updated automatically.
Gas is easily found right on the station map
The mechanics are simple: the service relies on transactions — specifically, the fact of paying for fuel with a card without being tied to a specific person. If people just paid for gas at a station, it most likely still has fuel. For each gas station in Russia, the service provides several hints to help you decide whether to go there or not. Considering that T-Bank has 55 million customers, the service can be trusted.
The map works both ways: for those searching and for those who have already visited a station
- Availability forecast for AI-92 and AI-95 — the most popular fuel grades;
- Driver-submitted reports — whether there’s fuel and queues;
- Time of last purchase with a T-Bank card — showing whether the station is operating or idle.
The last point is especially useful during times of high demand. If the last purchase was a couple of minutes ago — the station is operating right now. If there haven’t been any payments for several hours, that’s a reason to be cautious: the gas may have run out or the station may be closed.
How to Open the T-Bank Gas Station Map on iPhone
The T-Bank gas map is available to everyone, not just bank customers. So far I’ve noticed only one drawback: it requests access to your location, even though it already has it. You can revoke and grant permission again or simply find your city manually. You can open it on iPhone in several ways.
The T-Bank gas map works even on PC without registration
- Go to the service website toplivo.tbank.ru directly in Safari — no registration or app needed.
- If you have the T-Bank app installed, find the map by searching for “gas” (“бензин”).
- The map is also built into the main page of the Auto.ru app.
The fastest option is to open the website in your browser without installing extra apps. For convenience, you can add the site shortcut to your iPhone home screen via the “Share” menu and the “Add to Home Screen” option.
How the T-Bank Gas Station Map Differs from the “Fuel” Service
It’s important not to confuse the new map with the bank’s existing service. The “Fuel” service only works with partner gas stations where you can pay directly from the app, and it doesn’t show fuel availability. The new map solves a different problem — not payment, but finding a working gas station.
Don’t confuse the gas station map with the car refueling service
A similar tool is also being tested by Yandex. In early July 2026, the company began testing an interactive map based on anonymized data from Yandex Refueling about fuel dispensed in the last hour. However, it’s currently only available to taxi drivers in the Yandex Pro app, while the new gas station map is open to everyone.
Is the T-Bank Gas Station Map Worth Using
The service is genuinely useful if your region is experiencing fuel shortages or if you’re traveling to an unfamiliar city and don’t want to drive around empty pumps. The forecast based on recent payments provides more value than a regular list of gas stations where you can’t see if they actually have fuel.
A reliable way to find a gas station with fuel has been found. Use it!
That said, keep in mind the limitation: this is a forecast, not a guarantee. The data is built on transactions and driver reports, so the situation at a specific gas station can change within minutes. You shouldn’t blindly trust the map — it’s more of a hint about where to head first.
