Fuel became more expensive at a shocking speed, very difficult for the pocketbook to assimilate.
After the last adjustment, applied on March 2 and
7.5%
, gasoline prices have already accumulated a 44% increase so far in 2024 and a
222% increase in just 5 months
.
Now, then, in
Capital
each
liter of super
costs at least
$800
in YPF;
and in other brands it can already be seen for $820, $850 or $897.
In October it was still worth $248.
Premium
gasoline
, meanwhile, was
$987
at the state oil company's cheapest loading bays, while in its competition it can reach $1,020, $1,040, $1,055 or even $1,080 depending on the flag and the neighborhood.
Those are the new
prices at the pump
, but the truth is that many consumers can pay 10%, 20%, 30% or
even 50% less
than those list prices.
They can achieve this if they plan their loads in such a way as to
take full advantage of the promotions
that are available on
specific days
of each week or month with certain applications, bank cards and benefit programs.
Below,

and

March 2024
, with details of their limits, conditions and everything you need to know, according to a
