P

The reference exchange rate of the dollar to evaluate the average of the last two weeks, ranging from March 7 to 18, was S/ 3.73, slightly lower than the S/ 3.74 used in the publication of the previous week.

From this reference price, faucets throughout the country draw up their own price table, and compete in the free market among themselves. In our country, the two major suppliers are Repsol and Petroperú (the latter, in reality, is only dedicated to renting the name under the so-called “Petrored”). Therefore, this reference price is not the one that end users will necessarily find when supplying their vehicles.
