New gasoline price shocks Brazilians; Check the fuel value in the pumps
5 min read
Gasoline has been one of the most talked about topics lately. This is because their values are not completely stable. Petrobras has been criticized by several discussions for not imposing the same from the international market.
Some experts have even commented on a possible link to the elections. However, now that the polls are over, the company has raised the amount of fuel again. Find out how much the pumps cost.
The most expensive gasoline
Gasoline rose again. This is the third time in a row over the past few weeks. Gas stations have already started charging for fuel, a value that Brazilians cannot afford.
In the past week, which ended on the 29th, the average price rose from R$4.88 to R$4.91. Thus, an increase of 0.6% could be observed, and the place with the highest value found is Pará. In this region, a liter went to R$ 5.79.
Even increasing the amount, the gap with respect to the international market is very large. The Brazilian Association of Fuel Importers (Abicom) made calculations and showed that earlier this week, on the 31st, the lag of gasoline in relation to the import parity price (PPI) reached about 16%.
With this, we can know that if Petrobras did indeed adjust gasoline prices to the world price, it could increase by 16%. This represents an increase of R$0.63 at pumps per liter.
It should be noted that PPI is the policy used by the state-owned company to be able to adjust fuel prices throughout the national territory. However, as research by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) shows, this does not happen.
Looking at the number, it can be seen that no correction has been made since the beginning of September. At that time there was a 7% decrease in the price of gasoline directly in the country’s refineries.
And what about diesel?
The National Petroleum Agency (ANP) also provides information on diesel. Seems to be a bit better than gasoline. This is because it has become cheaper over the past two weeks.
The average value of the oil ranged from R$6.59 to R$6.56. However, the gap with regard to international values is large. up to 25%. This is equivalent to 1.62 Brazilian reals per liter. Calculations from APICOM.

What do the experts say?
When asked to comment on this difference, Petrobras comments that the values are not outdated. According to her, the change was associated with some changes in the adoption of different methodologies.
The company comments that the values were already skewed, however, it no longer tracks the lag in relation to the international market. According to the calculations of the state-owned company, gasoline and diesel do not experience changes in the amounts charged.
However, Abicom’s president, Sergio Araujo, says he was surprised by the company’s diagnosis. According to him, a few weeks ago, the institution had above-average values, according to the association’s calculations.
After that, he lowered the prices and began displaying the so-called PPI curves prepared by the company. He also comments that when the values fell, the company quickly passed on the difference in the amount to the consumers. Now with the value increasing, you’re trying not to do conversions.

Brand new updates on gasoline
When considering the constant fluctuations in the price of fuel, especially gasoline, it is correct to consider the value that goes to the pumps, to reach the pockets of Brazilians.
Well, in general, after the third consecutive week of hikes, the price of gasoline has reached the range of R$4.91 per liter. That is, the value is up a few cents, when looking at a liter, compared to the initial price of R$4.88.
Therefore, as the value of fuel increases, a big question arises: do automatic cars spend more than manuals? Without further ado, the answer is yes.
In other words, automatic cars can spend more, precisely because of the effort that the car itself requires, in order to “run” without handling it. However, the saving tips are also valid for this type of vehicle.
