I don't think think that the fuel shortages alone will change Putin’s demands on the war, but will be impactful as another one of the many "sanctions" imposed by Ukrainians!
I think the fuel shortages are more likely to cause Putin to attempt to further escalate, probably by hitting anything he can figure out how to strike with ballistic missiles.
Depending on how well Ukraine weathers that string of attacks, he may find himself in an untenable position internally. Whether that will actually change Russia's behavior further is a question we'll just have to wait to learn.
No, fuel shortages alone won't do it. Hopefully, targeted Ukrainian attacks on more military manufacturing will also leave them with less stuff to hurt Ukraine with. Maybe they're going to run out of ballistic missiles? We can only hope.
