Gasoline Prices

[JLSawmam]

For those who buy gasoline, have prices increased, decreased, or stayed about the same over the past few months? I know taxis and motoconchos always like a little more, and I wonder if this is a valid reason for that.

Gasoline Regular dropped 1 peso about 1 month ago. Was steady before that for a LONG time.

I think it was 2 pesos for regular, and 3 pesos for premium, but who's counting

Actually prices haven't changed since 2022. And yes, I LMAO myself in Dec just watching the prices drop by 1 peso. Lol.

And prices are for all the same @JLSawmam, either concho, taxi or private cars.

I realize the prices are the same for all. I've had a few motoconchos and taxis recently wanting more than before, and I wondered if the gas prices might be a part of that. I guess gasoline is one of the few things that hasn't gone up!

Yep, it's more on inflation and power purchase on their side. Prices in general have increased, bug gas has been steady.
Been using taxi lately and fares have gone up at least 50-100 pesos more than 3 months ago.

Fuel prices have been subsidized by the Gov't up until a couple of months ago. Another thing that benefits almost everyone by Abinader.

Here's a funny slightly off-topic - Propane was subsidized by Gov't when we bought a propane-powered vehicle in 2007. When the subsidy was announced it was to end there were lots of announcements advising to convert to propane soon to take advantage of the subsidized price while it lasted. When the subsidy finally ended - the price of propane actually went down.
