In 2025-2026, federal fuel taxes changed through a series of decrees, making `by_decree` more accurate than a universal monthly cycle for the tax component.

The Argentine province of Mendoza has launched the Mendoza VanLife program to develop tourism for motorhomes and camper vans.

The province of Córdoba has inaugurated Argentina's first dedicated motorhome route, featuring 10 strategic points with free essential services like potable water and waste disposal.

The route connects destinations ranging from the Lago Piedras Moras lake to historical towns like Villa Tulumba.
