This will lead to a reduction in the price of gasoline and diesel at those stations, as Ducsa suggested doing at Ancap stamp stations.
“The company decided to take this resolution with agility so that it reaches consumers immediately”, said Patricio Jiménez, CEO of Axion in Uruguay, in a press release.

It should be remembered that today maximum sales prices are in force, which are set by decree of the Executive Power. That is why Ducsa can only exhort to transfer the difference.
“Ducsa’s decision is that the cost reduction reaches the end customer. Said reduction will remain in force only for stations that apply the suggested price at the pump,” says the text sent this Thursday to the dealers of the network and to which he accessed The Observer.
