Service station managers said they only receive gasoline from 91 and assured that queues are due to the "desperation" of people.
95 octane gasoline is still the largest absent in eastern Caracas. On a tour of four service stations, the Contrapunto team was able to observe large lines to fill the tanks of vehicles and motorcycles. The gasoline of 95 shone by its absence and the users had to acquire only of 91.
Managers of stations of service in zones like Las Mercedes, the Cafetal and Bello Monte agreed that the queues were due to the "desperation" of the people. They also said they were not given 95 gasoline for two weeks.
"We supply the gas in the normal way: only 91, but normal. We were told that for today (Thursday) in the afternoon would come the 95. The queues are by people's alarm. The lack of fuel of 91 is an issue that concerns PDVSA and not us, "said a businessman in Las Mercedes.
One of the firefighters said that tails have been repeated for two weeks; said that people are very restless and worried about running out of fuel. "You can see it with your own eyes: whatever you say there is a serious problem with the fuel these days," said the worker, who declined to identify himself.

Aporrea is an apologist Chavista website that caters to the ultra-Left.
Gasoline is getting to be a rare find in non-urban areas. Also, liquid propane tanks (bombas) that most use for cooking are disappearing, and ones that can be found can't be filled.

about how you pay for a lunch. It takes a backpack full of money, a duffel bag if you have guests. You eat lunch and then wire the money from your bank to the restaurant's bank.
