The average prices of Gasoline rose 3% at fuel stations this week, found research by the regulator ANP this Friday, after the Petrobras raise the price of fuel sold to refineries for the first time since June 2022 last week.
Common gasoline was sold at an average of 5.12 reais per liter in the week at Brazilian stations, compared to 4.97 reais in the previous week, showed the ANP.
Petrobras raised gasoline sales prices to distributors by 7.5% last week, after oil prices and the behavior of the exchange rate increased the gap between domestic prices and international prices.

In this scenario, the hydrous ethanola direct competitor of gasoline at pumps, was sold at 3.82 reais per litre, up 1% from 3.78 reais the week before.
