The Cuban military corporation CIMEX announced on Saturday the new prices for gasoline and diesel for the state sector and private carriers corresponding to the Tasca Ordenamento, which will enter into force on February 1 throughout Cuba.
Prices, now expressed in Cuban pesos, range from 14.66 per liter of 83-octane motor gasoline to 20.27 per liter of 100-octane motor gasoline. For its part, regular diesel will cost 13.99 and the special 15.12 per liter.
The new prices, according to the note posted on the corporation’s Facebook wall, apply “to self-employed workers who provide the service of transportation of cargo, passengers in the form of ‘regular service’, or both services” and must be paid for using magnetic cards.
“The acquisition can be made with the use of magnetic cards by holders of a Transport Operation License (LOT). Those who use the band cards enabled by FINCIMEX SA for the purchase of fuel in the service network, must have sufficient liquidity of cash deposited in their tax bank accounts, which allows them to make the payment of the fuel. authorized to consume, to this bank, before concluding the month of January of 2021 “, pointed out the note.
In the profile itself on the social network of CIMEX, several boaters complained about the measure. “Diesel, for example, used to cost 8CUP, now it costs 13.99. Besides that from the punch to the engine oil or a minimum maintenance they have tripled the price. Quite little is charged on the street for all the expenses that are generated “, pointed out Yosvany Brito.
For his part, Juan Antonio Roque noted that “for a particular carrier the cost of fuel is the lowest of its costs. Just consider the price of the tires, battery, which sometimes have to be changed a once a year, oil or oil filters, oil, which is at 75 pesos a liter, and why talk about the rest of the engine parts and others.I’m not a winemaker, but yes mechanic, and I can properly tell you that this business is no longer as profitable as it was a few years ago. “
Faced with complaints from some foresters about the prices charged by private taxis, Pavel Rivero stated: “People talk unknowingly, they only take out their ‘bills’ for the price of petrol, but that’s the least of it. They don’t think that the state does not sell us anything (in national currency).
