For some cross-border operators, such high-capacity tanks were useful when the fuel prices in one of the countries along the route was considerably cheaper than in the other (or others). I still see many big-rigs with larger tanks, which are used for hauling between Brazil and neighboring countries such as Uruguay and Argentina.
