The diesel shortage in many gas stations continued yesterday after the supply of normal gasoline returned to normal. Listin Diario reports that according to the president of the Gasoline Retailers Association, Juan Ignacio Espaillat, Shell, Esso, Texaco, Nativa, Isla and Coastal are setting priorities and are providing all the fuel required for 75% of their gas stations. However, only 20% had diesel and the trend is towards a more severe shortage. "This indicates that if we had 20% this morning (yesterday), we will end up with 5% and the issue is becoming radical. The reason is that although Shell should have increased the supply, what it did was make an advance order, and now there is a shortage because diesel is still being rationed", said Espaillat.
