“There are not going to be increases in gasoline, in electricity prices, gasoline is being sold at 21 pesos per liter, this does not happen in other countries, in the United States it costs almost twice as much, because since the beginning of the government we started of rescue of the oil industry”, said the representative of the Executive.
He mentioned that they are working on six refineries, one was bought in Texas, in addition to the construction of one more in Dos Bocas.
This seeks to increase the production of crude “so that next year we are self-sufficient in gasoline and diesel, not depend on foreigners,” he said.
It should be noted that 80% of the fuels used in Mexico originate in the United States.
