Innotech

All fuels have a broad range of specs. We get our jet A certified there.

And yes, additives vary

This is going to cause a bunch of 'nopes' and hurt feelings, but the price to convert a bbl of oil to 158L of gasoline today is .78c. That's not PER litre that is for 158Litres.
158 L sold on the open market prior to tax is $1.139.

I had heard gas and diesel in Venezuela was $10c/gallon, and they make a fortune at that price.

Cost of production is the cheapest part of fuel.

If I recollect correctly, by law in Venezuela, the cost of gasoline cannot exceed a certain set amount. Costs the government there billions to subsidize gasoline.

As always, I stand to be corrected.

I don't have my own car, maintaining it takes too much money. If I need to travel, I use car rental services. Last time I found this one https://iversta.com. As for the daily movement, I don't mind public transport and think it's not good for the environment.
