Method and caveats
Source: the monthly price table for one major brand in Buenos Aires City published by surtidores.com.ar, an industry outlet. The official station level dataset of the Energy Secretariat (Resolution 314/2016) was unreachable on 24 October 2026; once it is back we will switch to the median across all brands and add a national series. US dollar values divide each monthly price by the monthly average MEP rate (ArgentinaDatos). One brand in one city is not a national average.
