The liter of premium naphtha is already paid $ 45 in the interior of the country

The cost of a liter of top quality naphtha already reached $ 43.50 inside the country, thus increasing the price dispersion and the gap that exists with the values ​​recorded in the federal capital.

The $ 43.50 per liter of premium quality naphtha is paid for by consumers in Sauce, a town in Corrientes where 10,000 people live and is located approximately 393 kilometers south of the provincial capital.

In the city there are two "white flag" service stations (which do not represent any oil companies in particular), but as the NA agency was able to find out, both lower the liquid fuels of the semi-public company YPF.

Top quality naphtha – the most recommended fuel for automakers for new models on the market – closed the month of June at $ 36.5, but July 1 rose to 38.5 and five days later it reached $ 43.5.

In the service stations of the city of Sauce, the liter of super naphtha is between 40 and 40.50 pesos, or 44% more than the porteños pay for the same product at the YPF service stations in the federal capital, where the liter is listed at 28.11 pesos.

The Minister of Energy, Javier Iguacel recently said that the fuel market in Argentina "is completely released", so that every gas station can put the price you want at his pumps.

This situation will increase competition in large cities like the federal capital where there are many petrol stations of different oil companies, but it hits the pockets of consumers in small towns where there is no more than one or two options.

At the service station with the flag of the oil company Shell in the city of Rio Cuarto, the premium naphtha reached 39.45 pesos after last week's increases, while the super is located in the 33.78 pesos.

In this same petrol station, the liter of diesel formula has a cost of 28.09 pesos and the V-Power (high-end diesel) has a price of 34.78 pesos.

Pedro Llorvandi, president of the House of Costs of Santiago del Estero, said that in the capital of Santiago, the liter of premium naphtha is 35.99 pesos at YPF petrol stations.

For its part, the super naphtha is sold at 31 pesos; Infinia diesel (premium) is located at 30.76 pesos and the diesel 500 has a cost of 26.82 pesos per liter, according to the operator of the station.

As reported by dominio.com, the Federation of Fuel Suppliers and Allies of the Center of the Republic (Fecac) estimated that in Córdoba the liter of Super should be sold at 38.46 pesos and the premium at 43.88 pesos, there is therefore a "delay" of 20% in the values.
