Premium gasoline shortage

[NewsWhore]

Premium gasoline was in exceedingly short supply over the weekend, with just five of the 490 gasoline stations affiliated to the National Association of Gasoline Retailers (ANADEGAS) reporting small quantities in their tanks. The refinery does not have any of the gasoline in reserve. However, Ruben Montas, the CEO at the refinery, said that the fuel had run out due to weather conditions that delayed a tanker traveling to the DR from Mexico with fresh supplies. The tanker is due to dock today. Montas reaffirmed his earlier statements that there will be no fuel shortages because the refinery is purchasing fuels on the spot market and more tankers are expected this week. Montas also said that repairs on the damaged fuel pipelines would take about two weeks.
