ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The fuels and vehicles markets are truly global in scope, and there are a number of fueling trends in South America that are relevant to the United States, from how they fuel vehicles to what fuels are sold to what consumers do once they come inside the stores.

In the new Convenience Matters podcast “Store Tours: South America,” co-hosts Jeff Lenard, NACS vice president of strategic industry initiatives, and John Eichberger, executive director of the Fuels Institute, discuss some of the trends both at the fueling aisle, and inside the store in South America.

“There are some interesting fueling-related issues that are emerging,” Lenard said.
