Fuel prices have been readjusted practically every week, and a liter of gasoline exceeds R$ 7 in all Brazilian states; Ethanol was 3,69% more expensive compared to April, sold at R$ 6,76 on average
Data from the last survey of the Ticket Log Price Index (IPTL), referring to the first days of May, point out that a liter of gasoline sold at filling stations in the country registered a 0,70% increase in price and closed the period at R$ 7,55.

Five Brazilian states showed a decrease in the price of gasoline
Only five states in two Brazilian regions showed a drop in the price of gasoline. In the Northeast, Rio Grande do Norte recorded a reduction of 1,28% in the price of fuel; Pernambuco, -0,51%; Maranhão, -0,21%; and Alagoas, of -0,13%. The North Region also had a drop in price, but only in Tocantins, of -0,12%. On average for the respective region, the scenario was a 0,65% increase in fuel prices.
Despite the setbacks listed, the gasoline that continues to lead with the highest average price in the country is sold at filling stations in the Northeast, at R$ 7,63, up 0,66%. The analysis of the lowest average for this fuel repeated previous results and was registered in the South Region, with an average of R$ 7,21 per liter.
Ethanol, on the other hand, did not present a decrease in the average price in any region, and the most expensive liter was no longer sold at gas stations in the North, as occurred at the end of April, and started to be registered in the South at the beginning of the month, at R$ 6,35 .3,91, up 5,75%. The cheapest liter for ethanol was again found at gas stations in the Midwest, at R$ XNUMX.
In the breakdown by State, Bahia returns to the top of the country's biggest increase for gasoline (5,16%), which went from R$ 7,36 to R$ 7,74. The highest average continues to be sold at filling stations in Piauí, at R$ 8,17, up 0,29%. The lowest average was found in Rio Grande do Sul, at R$ 7,02.
Ethanol readjustments are already reflected in the analysis of the most advantageous fuel for supply
There was no reduction in the price of ethanol in any Brazilian state, and the most significant increase, which last month was found at gas stations in São Paulo, this time was registered in Ceará, with a value 9,56% more expensive, from R$ 6,13 to BRL 6,71. The most expensive liter of ethanol was sold in Pará, at R$6,76, up 1,17%; and the cheapest in São Paulo, at R$5,20.
“According to the Ticket Log survey, the increases in the price of ethanol are already reflected in the analysis of the most advantageous fuel for supply and, in these first days of the month, the fuel was presented as the most favorable option for only two states in the country, Goiás and Mato Grosso, unlike last month, which reached five”, concludes Pina.
