Fuel, Gas Stations, and Road Trips: how it works in Belarus — first-hand

Short answer
Fuel is widely available across Belarus, though some stations in neighboring Russian regions may experience temporary stock shortages. Carry a full tank and one spare canister, and be prepared to pay tolls in cash or by card on the M1 highway.

From real experience

Fuel availability on the route from Belarus to Russia via Bryansk is generally adequate, though some stations may have limited stock or be temporarily empty, particularly for 95-octane gasoline.
It is advisable to be aware of potential limits per vehicle. Queues were not significant on recent travel.

When traveling by car in Belarus, be aware of potential fuel shortages in neighboring regions like Pskov Oblast, where many gas stations are closed.
Road conditions within Belarus vary, with ongoing repairs; follow GPS navigation for the most time-efficient routes, which often pass through villages. Border guards may inspect fuel carried in canisters; a full tank plus one canister is generally advised. Mobile connectivity can sometimes be an issue. Mosquitoes can be prevalent, especially near water bodies, though higher floors in buildings might offer relief.

Fuel is available on the M1 highway in Russia.
A Gazpromneft station at km 97 of the Minsk highway is mentioned, with low customer traffic at night and early mornings, offering a limit of 30 liters. Other stations like Tatneft, Lukoil, and Rosneft are also reported to have fuel available with minimal queues on the Vyazma-Moscow section.

Toll sections on the Minsk highway (e.g., between km 33 and 66) can be paid for at toll booths using cash or card.
Transponders are not mandatory. Payment is collected upon passing the toll point. An alternative route near Odintsovo exists but may not be cost-effective.

Belarus generally has no fuel shortages. The country is self-sufficient in fuel production and even exports it.
Fuel is available at gas stations, and it is possible to purchase it in canisters, although finding canisters themselves might require effort due to high demand.
