Yesterday, YPF fuels rose for the second time in a week. It was 1%, rounding an increase from 18% for the first half of the year. The cheapest naphtha in the country, which is the city of Buenos Aires, already costs 28.1 .

Winter holidays are approaching and to graphically show how these increases have an impact in your pocket, we calculate the fuel cost for a typical city trip of Buenos Aires in Mar del Plata . They are 800 kilometers

Returning to Capital's "La Feliz" in a gasoline car costs $ 1,590 ie 49% more than a year ago and a half ($ 1,064). In a diesel vehicle involves $ 1,270 ie 56.6% more than 18 months ago ($ 811). We only talk about fuel

To cover the 800 kilometers, you need almost 54 liters of super naphtha. or 41 of high quality diesel . These fuels have been taken into account because they are the ones who have to load most pbadenger vehicles for sale in the country.

With regard to consumption, we consider the figures of a medium naphter as Gol Volskwagen (6.7 liters per 100 km) and a diesel average as Citroën C4 Lounge (5.2 liters per 100 km). These are measurements of TN Autos, in both at 120 km / h.

The fuel price chosen for the estimate is that of YPF. From the city of Buenos Aires for the first stage and from Mar del Plata for the return. As in all the interior of the country, the prices of pumps in "La Feliz" are higher.

In the stations of Buenos Aires the super naphtha is $ 28.1 and the diesel of superior quality 29,39 $ In the marplatenses, they are cited respectively to 31.3 and 31.9 or 11.4% more for the super and a 8.8% more ] for the diesel
