The National Consumer Price Index (INPC) resumed its upward trend to register an interannual variation of 8.15 percent last month.
But despite this, a recent study detailed that Mexican companies continue to expand despite economic concerns and supply chain challenges.
Faced with this scenario, people join forces to survive the rise in prices and between them, fill up on gasoline.
Inflation:
The National Consumer Price Index (INPC) resumed its upward trend to register an interannual variation of 8.15 percent last month.
Official information says that the increases that most fueled inflation in Mexico were the sales values of potatoes and other tubers, as well as onions, oranges, wheat flour and white bread.
According to data provided this Tuesday, August 9, by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography ( inegi ), the cost of living is thus registering the highest level since December 2000, when it had been located at 8.96 percent.
The increase in inflation for July in Mexico of 8.15 percent comes after it marked 7.99 percent in June and, a month earlier, in May, 7.65 percent. With this information, it can be said that for 17 months in a row, inflation is above the target range set by the Bank of Mexico.
But despite this, a recent study detailed that mexican companies they continue to expand despite economic concerns and supply chain challenges.
Gasoline:
Given this context, in the case of gasoline the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) has reported that the fiscal stimulus to the share of the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) remains at 100 percent for regular Magna-type gasoline and for diesel next week, while for premium gasoline the stimulus is reduced to 92.93 percent, according to an agreement published in the Official Gazette of the Federation .
However, they are not so far-fetched because the Secretariat of the Environment of Mexico City (Sedema) a few months ago resolved the doubt of the people who have wondered if there really is a schedule to carry out the fueling to your vehicle.
Thus, it is recommended to load gasoline after 6:00 p.m.
This is because the temperature drops and the evaporation of gasoline that produces ozone when it reacts with other pollutants in the presence of the sun is reduced.

In this sense, charging at this time could improve air quality and perhaps save a little more fuel.
However, these types of myths or beliefs help us to understand how the consumer, faced with the constant increase in prices of products such as gasoline, looks for multiple ways to make better use of money.
