Petrobras announced today (30) a new price adjustment in the liter of the gasoline sold in the refineries, which will go from R $ 2.0829 to R $ 2.1079. The increase is part of the price policy of the state-owned company, which uses the parity price, formed by international quotations, “reports Agência Brasil.
This is the biggest increase in prices since the state-owned company adopted the daily adjustments. The price of diesel has not changed and remains at R $ 2.0316.
Petrobras says that parity is necessary because the Brazilian fuel market is open to free competition, giving distributors the alternative of importing the products. Petrobras also informs that the gasoline and the diesel sold with the distributors differ from the products in the fuel station.
Also according to the state-owned company, “average prices informed consider the national arithmetic mean of spot prices, free of charge and without taxes, practiced in the modality of sale standard in the various points of supply, which vary throughout the national territory, for more or less than the average. This variation can be up to 12% for gasoline A and up to 9% for diesel A “.
