Overview
- LA NACION reports the Buenos Aires–Mar del Plata route costs over $22,000 in tolls without TelePASE or about $18,000 with it, covering Dock Sud, Hudson, Samborombón and Maipú.
- A UADE survey cited by Clarín finds average prices at $1,653 per litre in CABA, about $1,785 on the route, and roughly 4.2% higher than CABA in coastal towns, with route stops averaging 8.9% more than CABA.
- Using these prices, UADE estimates fuel-only spending averages $58,149 from CABA to the Costa, around $60,000 for Mar del Plata and up to $74,000 for Necochea.
- Combining fuel with tolls, La Voz del Interior estimates about $100,000 for a one-way trip to Mar del Plata and roughly $200,000 round-trip, varying by vehicle consumption and connections.
- UADE’s data were current to December 14 and precede a 2% YPF reduction, so fuel outlays may be slightly lower, while buses from about $48,000 and trains from about $38,000 remain cheaper alternatives.
