Due to the increase in fuel prices which has reached R$7 in some regions, consumers in Paraíba have embraced the use of CNG for their mobility. Compressed Natural Gas provides drivers with savings of at least R$ 700 when compared to gasoline
With the increase in liquid fuels such as gasoline and ethanol, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has become the solution for consumers to reduce expenses when filling their vehicles in Paraíba. Currently, using CNG results in savings of 43% in Greater João Pessoa and 37% in Campina Grande. The competitiveness takes into account the relationship between the fuel price, distance traveled with CNG and gasoline, and the average performance of the car with each fuel.
