Hoy is reporting that that 99% of the 486 gas stations that belong to the National Association of Gasoline Retailers (ANADEGAS) have run out of premium gasoline and 14% of gas stations are also reporting shortages of regular gasoline. The Dominican Petroleum Refinery said that it received 5 million gallons of regular gasoline and 2.3 million gallons of premium on Monday. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce said that since Sunday night gasoline has been dispatched and reassured the public that GLP and diesel fuels aren't in danger of running out. ANDEGAS president Juan Ignacio Espaillat said that although the DR is receiving gasoline, the independent retail sector has not received any, leading to increased concern. Minister of Industry and Commerce Melanio Paredes maintains that gasoline will not run out.
