Drivers across Chile can now use a free online tool to identify the most affordable fuel prices in their immediate vicinity, according to elmostrador.cl.
The digital platform, known as 'Bencina en Línea,' allows users to monitor real-time fuel costs at various service stations throughout the Metropolitan Region and the rest of the country.
By utilizing the interactive map provided by the National Energy Commission (CNE), motorists can locate the most economical options near their specific sector. The tool also provides essential details such as operating hours, available payment methods, and additional services available at each station.
To compare prices, users can navigate to the 'Bencina en Línea' interactive map on the official CNE website. The process for checking specific station rates involves zooming the map into a specific commune or sector and selecting a service station.
Once a station is selected, the portal displays updated prices for different types of fuel and allows users to consult additional information about the specific location. This allows drivers to choose the most convenient alternative based on their current location before refueling.
According to elmostrador.cl, price discrepancies between stations can be significant, even within the same commune. Checking the map before traveling can help drivers save money, particularly during weeks of consecutive price hikes like the current one.
