Fuel expert, Julio Villagran, reports that by next monday the last decrease in the prices of premium gasoline, regular and diesel will possibly be announced, having a decrease of at least US$0.10.

This decrease is the one that will close 2021 with 17 price increases and 8 price decreases in the year and also the expert added that the country has come to consume more than 41 million monthly in gasoline and diesel.

He also explains that the country will possibly spend US$1,700 million in oil bills in 2021, being important and quite strong figures for the country's economy.

It is recommended that, in order to save fuel, the engine has to remain in an optimal state, as well as the systems and components that surround the vehicle.

It is important to consider that sudden braking also consumes gasoline. This is especially relevant when you are in traffic, so it is advisable to keep a considerable distance from other vehicles, in order to anticipate their braking and not to brake suddenly.

When using the air conditioning at low speed, fuel economy decreases by up to 15%. So, if it is not too hot, turn off the A/C and lower the windows when driving.
