Last week, the president of the YPF, Pablo González, was in Misiones, who was supposed to hear the request from Governor Oscar Herrera Ahuad. The president complained not only about the shortages, but also about the price differential imposed on foreign vehicles.

The governor did not hesitate to call the measure “crazy” because it leaves the application of the provision in the hands of the players. “It puts the ball in the field of gas station employees and will not solve the shortage problem,” said Herrera Ahuad. And he added that this decision “encourages smuggling even more, no doubt”.

With this new increase in fuel, filling a truck’s tank at AMBA pumps costs nearly $ 3,000 less than in Posadas, and the difference rises to $ 3,600 when refueling at a pump in the interior of the province.
