Gasoline will be more expensive as of tuesday, september 21st

Julio Villagrán, fuel expert, informed that as of tuesday, september 21, fuel prices will be higher, diesel will increase US$0.07 and gasoline US$0.04.

According to the expert Villagrán, during the next two months, fuel price increases will be maintained due to an increase in the price of a barrel of oil, which in the last days is reaching at least US$72.

The salvadoran population will be able to take advantage to fill the tank of their vehicles during the weekend, so that the price increase that will remain in force during the next days does not affect their pocket.

For a better saving in fuels it is recommended:

Take adequate routes: by planning your routes and scheduling your outings, you can save from 10% to 35% of fuel.

Accelerate progressively: wait for the engine temperature to stabilize to demand its full power.

Cold start: there is no point in warming up the engine when the vehicle is not moving. Running at idle will only consume fuel.

Alignment and tire pressure: without proper tire pressure and poorly aligned tires wear out faster and force the engine to work harder. When properly maintained, you can save up to 10% of fuel.
