Despite the Collapse of International Oil Prices and the Latest Adjustments in Gasoline Prices at the Refinery Gate, Hydrated Ethanol – E100 – Still Technically Offers an Economic Advantage for Drivers in Southeast Brazil, Government Data Shows.

In the week ending Saturday, the price ratio of hydrated ethanol to gasoline was 70.16%, slightly above the 70.04% from the previous week, according to data released by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) on Monday. Since January 6, E100 in Southeast Brazil has lost a minimal advantage of almost 2.11 percentage points in consumers’ wallets.
