For the Government, the measure will impact “a lower differentiated price, with a clear benefit to the consumer.” In the city of Buenos Aires and Mendoza there were pilot tests of this new system in YPF and Shell service stations.
The National Government published on Wednesday in the Official Gazette the provision that allows The fuel self -service at the service stations. Decree 46/2025 signed by the Ministry of Energy regulates the possibility that a user can dispatch gasoline and diesel for itself.
For the government, the measure will impact on “A lower differentiated price, with clear benefit to the consumer”, since the service stations will have fewer expenses.
It is an activity that is allowed in countries such as The United States, Uruguay and Paraguay, in addition to members of the European Union.
The announcement had been made last year by the Minister of Deregulation, Federico Sturzenegger, but just officialized Wednesday with his entry into force in the Official Gazette.
In the City of Buenos Aires and Mendoza gave a pilot tests of this new system at YPF and Shell service stationsafter special permits were issued, since they began before the norm was regulated.
Fuel self -service will not apply, in principle, in provinces such as Buenos Aires, La Pampa and Jujuy, where it is forbidden to implement this type of services, according to what they establish local laws, which restrict the operation of suppliers to people outside the personnel of the Expendio stations.
The idea of the seasoning is to start providing a mixed service, in which the self -speech will be incorporated, but it will remain to the beachmen to load the fuel in the usual way.
Self -service can be useful for night schedules and the few dates in the year in which the service stations do not work, such as Christmas and New Year at certain times.
