Many gas stations across the island have been shuttered for days
HAVANA - Cubans still reeling from months of hours-long blackouts now have a new problem on their hands: fuel shortages.
"We have been waiting for a fuel truck to arrive for three days," said Armando Corrales from the driver's seat of his gray Kia SUV at a gas station in the capital. "People have slept here in line so they don't lose their spot." Officials have previously blamed fuel shortages on the decades-old US trade embargo, which complicates Cuba's financial transactions, making it more difficult for the government to purchase fuel on the spot market.
Mexico, which has become a regular supplier to the island, has made up for some of the difference. But both Venezuela and Mexico send mostly crude to Cuba, whose obsolete refineries must use it to make gasoline and diesel for cars, trucks and generators.
