Gasoline And Diesel Prices Will Be Reduced At Petrobras Refineries Starting Today, July 9. The Average Price Of Gasoline Will Drop By 4.4%, While The Average Cost Of Diesel Will Decrease By 3.8%.

The reduction in the average price per liter of gasoline will be R$ 0.0778 (4.4%) and for diesel, R$ 0.0825 (3.8%). The information is available on Petrobras’ website. It remains to be seen what price the gas stations will pass on to the consumer in the final price of fuels. With the drop, the average price per liter of gasoline at the refineries will be R$ 1.6817. The average price of diesel will rise to R$ 2.0649 per liter.

The most recent adjustment to the price of diesel occurred on July 1, when it was raised by 3.92%, while the gasoline adjustment took place on June 11. Since adopting a new format for the price adjustment policy in 2017, gasoline has accumulated a price increase of 28.54% at the refineries. Diesel has accumulated an increase of 52.20%.

Price Variation

Prices vary according to each state-owned refinery in different Brazilian states. The lowest gasoline prices are found in São Luís (MA), R$ 1.59; Itacoatiara (AM), R$ 1.62; and Manaus (AM), R$ 1.66. The highest gasoline prices are at the refineries in Brasília, R$ 1.89; Senador Canedo (GO), R$ 1.88; and Uberaba (MG), R$ 1.87.

The lowest prices for S500 diesel, the most sold on the roads, are in Itacoatiara (AM), R$ 2.02; Guamaré (RN), R$ 2.04; and Manaus (AM), R$ 2.05. The highest prices are practiced in Senador Canedo (GO), R$ 2.25; Brasília, R$ 2.25; and Uberaba (MG), R$ 2.25.

According to the state-owned company, “the prices for gasoline and diesel sold to distributors are based on the import parity price, formed by the international quotes of these products plus the costs that importers would incur, such as transportation and port fees.”

The gasoline and diesel sold to distributors are different from the products at the gas station. They are type A fuels, meaning gasoline before its combination with ethanol and diesel without the addition of biodiesel. The products sold at the pumps to the final consumer are made from type A mixed with biofuels. The prices disclosed by the state refer to type A products.

On these prices, the profit margin of distributors and gas stations, taxes that vary from one state to another, labor costs, among other variables will apply.
