委内瑞拉加油站运营商因收益微薄宣布进入紧急状态

Core Viewpoint - The Venezuelan gas station operators association has declared a state of emergency due to claims of meager profits, prompting a request for the government to unify fuel prices nationwide [1][4]. Group 1: Financial Challenges - The Fenegas association has communicated to the government that they have not found a viable way to continue operations profitably and safely [1][4]. - Gas stations reportedly earn only 1 cent per liter sold, making it impossible to cover basic costs and salaries [1][4]. - A gas station selling 50,000 liters a month generates $500, which is insufficient to cover expenses such as salaries and utilities, which total approximately $800 [2][5]. Group 2: Pricing and Sales Issues - The government has initiated a pilot project in Caracas, setting the price of "super" gasoline at $1 per liter, up from $0.50 in 2020, while providing subsidies for other gas stations [1][4]. - Some gas stations that charge in dollars have seen a significant drop in sales, with some reducing from over 36,000 liters per day to only 1,000 or 2,000 liters [3][7]. - The decline in sales is attributed to the insufficient purchasing power of Venezuelans to afford gasoline priced in dollars [3][7].
