To Buy Gasoline For Half The Price, Residents Of Western Parana Decide To Cross The Border And Refuel On Argentinian Soil, Where Some Stations Are Already Facing Shortages Due To High Demand

To escape the high price of gasoline, which at some stations already exceeds R$ 7 per liter, some Brazilians choose to cross the border to refuel their vehicles in Argentina. This situation has occurred mainly among residents of Foz do Iguaçu, in the western region of Parana, who decide to cross the border via the Tancredo Neves Bridge to refuel in Puerto Iguazú, on Argentinian soil.

Gas Stations Run Out Of Fuel In Argentina

According to reports, managers of some Argentinian stations stated that 90% of the drivers served last week were Brazilians who decided to cross the border, causing some stations to run out of gasoline.

At one Argentinian station, a liter of fuel costs the equivalent of an average of R$ 3.10. According to information from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), gasoline is above R$ 7 in 13 states of Brazil, with an average value of R$ 6.56. These values are based on surveys conducted between October 24 and 30.

For João Ferreira, a resident of Parana, neither the line required to take the Covid test at the Argentinian customs nor the time needed to wait in line discouraged the quest for cheaper gasoline in Argentina. According to João, they waited two and a half hours just to take the Covid test, but the price of fuel makes it worthwhile.

The owner of one of the stations in Argentina stated that she herself started serving customers due to the high demand. The resident of São Paulo, accountant Andreia Ribeiro Pacheco, was visiting Foz do Iguaçu in Parana but did not miss the opportunity to cross the border to refuel.
