Fueling in Argentina: How to Save Up to 30% on Gas This July

06/07/2026 04:30 - Economia

If you are driving through Argentina, keeping an eye on fuel expenses is essential. During July 2026, the country's main oil companies—YPF, Shell, Axion Energy, and Puma Energy—are running promotions that, when combined with local banks and mobile apps, could save you up to 30% on gasoline (locally known as 'nafta') or diesel ('gasoil').

💡 Market Context: A recent drop in international oil prices has sparked discussions about potential price reductions at Argentine gas stations.
