The resistance was left without fuel, it is only for official distributions

The lack of fuel allocated to the height of the Paraná River generated a very high demand because of the possibility that the emergency could continue for several days. The long queues to get the little naphtha and high-end diesel were added last night to a new escalation of eager motorists to fill their tanks at the new Thursday that the YPF company would increase by 5% Super and 8% Premium Naphtha.

This Monday afternoon, the fuels were loaded only in official vehicles while dozens of motorists were making their pilgrimages. the different stations where the night they had already closed the sale.

The chairman of the Chamber of Shippers of Fuel and Related Channels (CECACH), Oscar Gaona, told a local radio explained the causes of normal fuel supply; Considering diesel as the most requested in the interior of the province. "This situation has a real and physical part that is the low level of the Paraná River, which no longer allows the entry of barges with fuel into the Barranqueras stream to supply the Shell and YPF factories in Puerto Vilelas. that has lasted for 20 days, "said the company chief

admitting that" we thought it would be a speculative measure because of the devaluation of the Argentine peso against the dollar this year, and that " he still needs to recover a little late, but we have not seen – in the last few days – announcements of rate increases "something that has been confirmed hours later making it seem like the problem of Supply would be resolved – as always – as soon as the prices in the pumps are updated. the fuel for the Chaco arrives by road but considering that the barge carries about 5 million liters of fuel that are deposited in Puerto Vilelas and from there it is distributed on the ground, a truck can hardly provide three petrol stations in a day; but, if it is to bring the fuel from the southern factories, it takes three days for a truck and for a single station.

In this way, the distribution is made by limited quotas at several service stations; thus, it does not provide one completely. Normally, a truck contributes about 35 or 30 thousand liters to a station, and now it decreases by 10 or 15,000, and in some cases only 6,000 liters.
