The most expensive gasoline in the world comes from Indonesia, where workers pay 19% of their daily salary to buy one liter of gas.

Meanwhile, even with all the economic problems, Gasoline sold in Venezuela is the cheapest in the world. According to information from Global Petrol Prices, the Venezuelan pays US$ 0.025. In Brazil, the average price of a liter is US$ 1.480, or R$ 7,40. 

Rrecent ANP results confirm the data

According to data from the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), the average value of a liter of gasoline went from R$7,270 last week to R$7,283 this week. Diesel rose from R$ 6,60 to R$ 6,61 in the same period. This year, the high of Diesel is already at 23,62%. 

CNG also rises across the country 

A bulletin released on Friday, the 29th, by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels, showed that the price of vehicular natural gas (CNG) rose for the second consultative week at gas stations. The consumer who previously paid R$ 4,742 per cubic meter is now paying R$ 4,774. 

The consumer should not be at peace with the price of vehicular natural gas (CNG). As promised, the Petrobras increased the price of natural gas for distributors by 19%. The rise in the price of CNG is set for the next few quarters. The state-owned company reported that natural gas increased due to the rise in price of Brent oil, and the variation in the exchange rate.  

According to the Brazilian Association of Piped Gas Distribution Companies (Abegás), the increase in natural gas will not generate any profit for distributors, since only the operation costs will be passed on to consumers.
