CNG increases 14.3 since Saturday and will cost $ 16 | Chronic

Like liquid gasoline, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) will arrive this Saturday with a 65% increase since the beginning of the year. According to the officially announced companies, the increase will be 14.3%, with which the value of the cubic meter will climb to $ 16. The adjustment occurs after the 28% increase in the wellhead value paid by the distributors, which will be partially transferred to the users.

From the House of GNC Distributors, however, they badure that there will be no further renegotiation of prices before May of next year, with which the increase would be the last of a long time. Despite the same increase as liquid gasoline, CNG contractors maintain that their value "it's the only one that requires government authorization " -of Enargas- and also "the only one who is not dollarized".

Despite everything, saves

Although the increase in CNG followed that of liquid fuels, the difference in value between the two – a violation of 55% – allowed to record the number of vehicles that decided to switch to the system, historically badociated with the use of taxis from Buenos Aires.

From the camera explained that in October, the number of drivers who install gas equipment increased by 71% over the same month of last year. This figure coincides with the strong presence felt by liquid fuel suppliers, which decreased by 5% of their overall level of sales, especially premiums, which dropped by around 28% last month.
