Petrobras Information on Gasoline Prices
Petrobras reduced diesel and gasoline prices last week and this Friday, amid a drop in oil prices in the international market due to fears of the impact of a new coronavirus outbreak in China on oil demand.
In an interview, Petrobras’ assistant administrator said: “As long as this threat is imminent to human life, many people will remain sheltered in their homes; thus, we will not have many workers, as the priority is human life”.
