The average price of diesel fell 1.09% at service stations in Brazil this week, according to a survey by the regulator ANP this Friday (10), after Petrobras reduced the value of fuel sold to refineries.
Diesel S10 (with lower sulfur content) was sold at an average of R$ 6.32 per liter in the week, down 1.09% compared to R$ 6.39 registered a week earlier.
Petrobras reduced the average price of diesel to distributors by 8.89%, starting last Wednesday, after a decline in oil prices in the last week left the oil company’s values ​​above international markets.
The transfer of Petrobras adjustments in the refineries to final consumers at the service stations is not immediate and depends on a series of issues such as distribution and resale margins, addition of biofuels and taxes.
Regular gasoline was sold on average at R$ 5.08 a liter in the week at Brazilian stations, a decrease of 0.8% compared to R$ 5.12 registered in the previous week, showed the ANP.
Hydrated ethanol, a direct competitor to gasoline at the pumps, was sold at R$3.80 per litre, down 0.5% from R$3.82 the previous week.
