Today I went to a gas station again at night after finishing my tasks

I finished some of my tasks only around 3 AM, and after that, I decided to drive to a nearby gas station. I didn't want to go to sleep yet because I still had enough energy, and my car's tank was absolutely empty after my last trip. At that point, I only had 23 kilometers of range left, so it was a great opportunity to fill up my car's tank and drive through empty city streets.

What was especially strange was that when I arrived at the gas station, I was the only driver who wanted to fill up the tank. Only a few minutes after I had filled up my tank, another car arrived. But about a week ago, everything was crowded even though it was the middle of the night. As for the daytime, I don't even want to say anything, because there were huge traffic jams near the gas stations.

Now I don't know what happened, because I haven't been following the local news and I also haven't driven near that area recently. But during my last trip, I didn't notice any traffic jams near the gas stations. On the contrary, gas was available at the familiar Taif gas station. However, the price was a bit expensive—about 69 ₽ per liter—so I decided to skip it and fill up my car's tank for 63 ₽ per liter in my hometown today.
