Ethanol Is Not Beneficial in Any State
The average price of ethanol in the country in August was R$ 4.682. Despite the consecutive increases in gasoline, ethanol remains the most advantageous fuel for filling up vehicles across the country. The method used in this analysis, discounting factors such as individual vehicle efficiencies, indicates that to make filling up with ethanol worthwhile, the price per liter must be less than 70% of the gasoline price.

The Fit Group is prohibited from pressuring and offering fuel to Shell and BR branded stations. The company used an MP that permits branded fuel stations to sell gasoline from different distributors to lure branded resellers.
Provisional Measure 1063, from President Jair Bolsonaro, which allows branded fuel stations to sell gasoline from different distributors, was barely approved and has already created a war among fuel distributor cartels! The Fit Fuels Group (a distributor linked to the former Manguinhos Refinery, now operating under the trade name Refit), attempted to take advantage of the MP and ended up being prohibited from pressuring, luring, offering, and distributing products to reseller stations contractually linked to the Shell brand, from Raízen, and BR Distribuidora, now known as Vibra Energia.

The direct sale of ethanol and the end of branding loyalty at fuel stations promise to eliminate cartels, stimulate competition, and lower gasoline prices, which have been experiencing consecutive spikes.
A Provisional Measure to allow mill owners to sell ethanol directly from the mill to gas stations was approved by the Government on Wednesday morning (08/11), and could become the ‘solution’ to contain and curb the rise in gasoline prices.
The text also establishes a white branding for fuel stations, meaning that stations displaying the brand of a specific distributor may start selling fuels from other suppliers, as long as the consumer is informed. Read the full article by clicking here.
