Taking as a case 1 medium car such as Volkswagen Gol with a 55 liter tank, filling the tank with Nafta Super in January 2021 cost $3,954 while with the recent increase, filling it costs $5,445. In year-on-year terms, the increase is 39%. In January 2021, the price per liter was $71.90, while now its price is $99.
“Although the increase in fuel for private car use ends up being the most visible for the consumer, there is a more worrisome and invisible effect that occurs in cargo transport because it impacts the prices of the goods that we acquire in gondola. Example: if we take a cleaning item, the packaging requires 1 transport trip, the container another trip, the chemicals necessary for its preparation between 4 and 5 average trips for delivery of raw materials and supplies, the boxes another trip and the finished product a additional trip. In this example we only have 8 accumulated trips with Diesel Nafta with average increases of 9% for each trip. These costs are reflected in the price lists and in the gondola immediately,” explained Damián Di Pace from the consulting firm Focus Market .
According to the PAETAC, while a 30-kilometre journey had a cost of $875 in 2020, without counting deductible taxes such as VAT and Liquid Fuels, today it is $1,602. For the 90-kilometer route, the cost was $2,625 in 2020 and now $4,862 in 2022. In the case of a Freight Transportation route of 300 kilometers in 2020, it had a cost of $8,752 in 2020 and $16,207 now in 2022. In the accumulated of the last 2 years, the increase in fuel was 83% below the average general inflation in the same period.
While in February 2022 increased the fuel in January 2022 gave the price of tolls impact on the cost of distribution of goods in cargo transportation at the beginning of the year it increased. According to PAETAC in the case of a 30-way Km and turn your cost is $ 4300, for the case of 90km round trip is $ 5224 and for the case of 300 km the cost is $ 6202.
“The increases in both fuel and tolls have a direct impact on freight transport. While the fuel has an impact on medium distances, in the case of the toll, it has an impact on short distances, increasing the cost of distribution and transportation of the goods that arrive at the gondola. Both in the current context of accelerating inflation do not do you any good towards the goal of achieving price stability because they have a direct and accumulated impact on the different prices of the final products that Argentines consume”, DiPace concluded.
