After Gasoline Price Increase, Which Is An Average Of R$ 7, Brazil Now Has One Of The Most Expensive Gasolines In The World According To A Ranking Prepared By Global Petrol Prices With 169 Places.
Gasoline is becoming increasingly expensive in Brazil, and consumers are suffering from the high cost of fuel when filling up their vehicles, with many even opting for other means of transportation to save money. The fuel in the country is priced well above the global average; however, despite the high gasoline prices, Brazil is still a bit far from being the country with the most expensive gasoline in the world. The leader of this ranking, with the most expensive gasoline in the world, is Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, according to the analysis by Global Petrol Prices.
Fuel Has An Average Above R$ 7 Reais In Brazil
In Hong Kong, located in southeastern China, the most expensive gasoline in the world is valued at an average of US$ 2.874, which currently equates to R$ 13.29 when converted to Brazilian currency. Meanwhile, in the rest of China, gasoline costs an average of US$ 1.473. Considering that the average price for expensive gasoline is around US$ 1.552, Brazil ranks 52nd in the ranking among the 169 places surveyed by Global Petrol Prices.
According to the latest data released by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), the average price of gasoline in Brazil is R$ 7.219, which corresponds to US$ 1.561 at current exchange rates. However, this difference does not change the country’s position in the ranking of countries with the most expensive gasoline in the world.
