Chile entire country suffers from the historic fuel hike announced by the President’s government José Antonio Kast. There is no pocket that is safe from this, even a prominent former player like Rainer Wirth.
After weeks of rumors, the Palacio de La Moneda confirmed that the value per liter of gasoline will go up 370 pesos y oil 580 pesos. This is due to the modifications to Mepco as a result of the war that shakes the Middle East.
Rainer Wirth’s explanation
Rainer Wirth was an outstanding archer who passed through Catholic University, Colo Colo, Spanish Union and La Serenaamong others. He won two titles in the Crusaders and three in the Albos, before hanging up his gloves when he was just 30 years old.
After his retirement, Wirth followed an unusual path for a former footballer: He studied commercial engineering and today at 40 years old administers three gasoline pumps. As an expert in the business, he spoke with RedGol and showed his impact in the face of the sharp rise.

“It catches me by surprise just like everyone elsefuel is not supposed to rise more than 20-30 pesos per week, you can always change the rules, but when that happens it catches you by surprise“, indicated who was a four-time champion with the Albos.
“One would like this to be progressive. It is verythings are moved by oil, energy moves countries. If the price rises almost 50%, it is a blow that will hit a lot. In inflation, in everything,” Wirth added.

It is often believed that gasoline pumps benefit from the sharp increase in price, but Rainer Wirth explains that they are really just an intermediary. Let us know how expensive the gasoline will be, there could be less sales for service stations.
“One knew and there were rumors that successive increases would come to match the real price, it was never confirmed and it turns out that they came out with this that we are going to cover the entire difference in an increase. Now it will be more expensive to buy and more expensive to sell. The gasoline pump passes the price, it does not earn more by selling more expensive and it costs more to sell with such a high price,” lamented Rainer Wirth.
