Sales of Super Premium gas stations fall: users claim they do not have cash dollars
Gas stations offering 97 octane gasoline have seen their sales drop, as most of their users do not have cash dollars to make payments. According to Bitácora Económica, clientele decreased between 70% and 90%. A week after PDVSA's pilot plan for the sale of super premium fuel was implemented, establishment owners assure that, for now, it is unviable if it is maintained only in cash foreign currency.
TL;DR
- Sales of 97 octane gasoline have fallen significantly (70-90%) due to a lack of cash dollars among users.
- The current payment system, requiring cash dollars, is deemed unviable for gas stations and consumers.
- Station owners propose selling both types of gasoline at different prices to improve business viability and customer options.
