In Comparison With The Lowest Average Of The Year, Not Only The Price Of Ethanol Spiked, But Gasoline Also Went Up 30% And Brazilians Have Nowhere To Run

The average price of ethanol led the biggest increases among all types of fuels at the end of September, reveals the latest Ticket Log Price Index (IPTL). With an increase of 4.11% compared to August, the fuel recorded an average of R$ 5.388 in September. Meanwhile, gasoline rose 2.31% in the same period and reached R$ 6.260, two months after surpassing R$ 6.00 for the first time. Compared to January, when the closing price was R$ 4.816, the difference is 30%.

Ethanol Prices Average Above R$ 5.00

“For the fourth consecutive month, ethanol prices average above R$ 5.00 and in this month-end closing it led the highest rise among all fuels. When we analyze the comparison with the first month of the year, the price increase of ethanol was 43%,” highlights Douglas Pina, Head of Urban Market at Edenred Brazil.

Similar to August, last month saw an increase in the average price of gasoline across Brazil. The most significant increase, at 2.71%, occurred in the South, where it sold for R$ 6.072, which, despite being the highest increase, was the lowest national average for the period. The Central-West Region, with an increase of 1.68%, had the highest average price recorded at gas stations in September: R$ 6.373. Rio Grande do Norte was the state with the highest gas price increase, rising 5.98%, with the liter costing R$ 6.572.

Truck Drivers Threaten Strike And May Halt At Any Moment Against The New Diesel Price Hike And Fuel Prices Set By Petrobras

Following another increase in diesel prices, which saw a mean increase of R$ 0.25 per liter yesterday (09/29), truck drivers are considering a new strike. The aim of the potential stoppage is to pressure the government to lower fuel prices. The president of the Minas Gerais Sindtanque, the union representing fuel transporters, stated in an interview with VEJA that protests could occur at any time. However, leadership considers this movement to still be intermittent.

The demands of truck drivers, who previously held a historic strike against diesel prices in 2018, continue to be compounded by ongoing complaints from President Bolsonaro about fuel costs.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
