YPF applied yesterday the announced decrease of 4.5% in the prices of their gasoline and diesel, and now it is expected what path the other market companies, such as Axion, Shell and Puma.
The decision was made for the fall in the international price of the barrel of oil. The oil company reported that it made a “constant monitoring of key variables to define its price policy.” To do this, it took into account “the international value of the Brent, the exchange rate, the tax burden and the price of biofuels.”
As of yesterday, May 1, the prices of fuels at the YPF – by liter – in general peak stations, the Pampa, were established as follows:
NAFTA super: $ 1029.
Nafta premium: $ 1250.
Gasoil: $ 1225.
Gasoil premium: $ 1419.
The super gasoline fell 21 pesos per liter and the infinia gas was the one that fell most, with a reduction of 80 pesos per liter, which represents almost 10%. The average diesel fell 5%, the 500 diesel dropped 4%, and infinia diesel fell almost 6%or 7%.
“YPF meets the commitment to offer products of the highest market quality and with the price agreement with its consumers,” said the company directed by Horacio Marín.
Marín said the prices “reflect an honest agreement with consumers, the honest commitment that when oil falls, we will lower them, and that when we rise, we will raise them. That gives credibility to what we say.”
He said they measure the evolution of the price of gasoline once a month on the basis of four factors: the price of crude, that of biofuels, exchange rate and taxes.
