Price Of Ethanol And Gasoline In Brazil
For Gasoline, The Average Selling Price In The Country Was R$ 5.88, An Increase Of 9.04% Compared To February. “The 3.93% Reduction In The Price Of Gasoline Announced Last Time Was Not Sufficient To Contain The Increase Caused By The Rise In The Price Of Fuels, Which Increased At Fuel Stations Across All Brazilian States And The Federal District,” Said Pina.

Why Are Fuel Prices So Hotly Debated By The Government?
President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva (PT), Concerned About The Impact That The Increase In Fuel Prices May Have On His Government’s Support, Is Seeking An Alternative Solution To Restore Taxes On Gasoline And Ethanol. Last Year, The Jair Bolsonaro Government (PL) Introduced A General Cut To PIS/Cofins To Lower Fuel Prices, A Measure That Critics See As Electoral.
The Government Fears That The Tax Rebate May Lead To An Increase In Fuel Prices, Harming Popularity In This Early Stage Of The Term. In Addition, The Government Is Monitoring The Risk That Higher Diesel Prices Could Lead To Protests By Truck Drivers.
Regarding Gasoline, Critics Of The Exemption Argue That The Price Of Fuel Has Little Impact On The Poorer Population, Who Typically Do Not Use Their Own Cars. On The Other Hand, In Addition To Pressuring The Middle Class And The Rich, The Project Will Also Affect Low-Income Workers Such As Delivery Drivers And App Drivers.
