TL;DR
- The government mandated a $500 per gallon reduction in gasoline prices nationwide starting February 1st.
- Users report that many gas stations have not applied the discount, still charging over $16,000 per gallon.
- Legal experts state that non-compliant stations could face sanctions ranging from warnings to suspension or cancellation of their operating license.
- The association representing gas stations, Somos Uno, requests the Ministry of Mines and Energy consider operational factors.
- Gas stations argue they must sell existing inventory, purchased at a previous price, before acquiring new fuel at the reduced rate.
- The formation of the regulated price is based on the actual cost of the inventory each station has acquired.
