Last day to load gasoline before the increase: an increase is expected due to tax defrosting. It is estimated that the Government could apply gradual increases in taxes that have been frozen since April 2021.
The increase could be around 10% at the pumps. Motorists continued to line up to fill up on gasoline, hoping for once to beat the increases expected from Thursday. Since November alone, gasoline prices have risen more than 150%. And if considered year-on-year, the increase also exceeded general inflation.
