The new increase in bombs, third so far this yearoccurs amid rising international oil prices, which increases the cost of imported gasoline and premium diesel, among others.

In addition, in our country there is a greater demand for fuel compared to the past two years, when restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic restricted the movement of people, something that caused a cost gap due to the impact of inflation. .
