The month of November began with the national average price for common and S-10 diesel above R$ 5.6 at the pumps, a 7.4% increase compared to the end of October, according to the latest survey by the Ticket Log Price Index (IPTL).

Truck Drivers Threaten Strike And Could Stop At Any Moment Against The New Increase In Diesel And Fuel Prices Set By Petrobras
After yet another increase in diesel prices, which saw an average rise of R$ 0.25 per liter, truck drivers are considering a new strike. The goal of the potential stoppage is to pressure the government to lower fuel costs. The president of the Sindtanque de Minas Gerais, the union representing fuel transporters, stated in an interview with VEJA that protests could occur at any moment. However, leaders consider this movement still to be momentary.
The demands of truck drivers, who staged a historic strike against diesel prices in 2018, still follow constant complaints from President Bolsonaro himself about the cost of fuels.
Even With High Dollar, Fuel Prices Plummeted, Reaching R$ 1.98 Per Liter For Ethanol At The Beginning Of The Pandemic, But It Did Not Last And Consumers Suffer From Constant Surges
Consumers, taxi drivers, and app drivers have to deal with constant fuel price adjustments set by Petrobras, but how to explain the reason for ethanol, gasoline, and diesel prices plummeting at the beginning of the pandemic, even when the dollar was extremely high?
In February 2020, at the beginning of the global crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, fuel prices plunged worldwide, but “not everything is rosy,” and after May, we began to rise again.
Social distancing measures resulted in a drastic reduction in fuel consumption, both for transportation and for industry.
As reported at the time, by us at Click Petroleum and Gas, oil was even traded at negative prices; without storage options, many investors preferred to pay to avoid receiving the purchased barrels.
In other words, with gasoline and diesel much cheaper, ethanol also had to decrease in price. At that time, the technical director of Unica – The Sugarcane Industry Union, reported that the sector accumulated losses and was selling the biofuel below the cost price.
However, it didn’t take long for the global market to adapt to the new situation, and prices began to rise again even with the truck drivers’ strike threats. With gasoline and ethanol demand rising, prices consequently increased, and losses at the pumps were reversed. Read the full article here.
After The Loyalty To Fuel Brands At Gas Stations Was Lifted, The ANP Authorized On The 4th, The Sale Of Gasoline And Ethanol Via Delivery; Measure Could Reduce Fuel Prices And Ease The Burden On Consumers
After the approval on August 11 of direct ethanol sales and the end of loyalty to fuel brands at gas stations, which means that gas stations displaying the logo of a specific distributor may start selling fuels from other suppliers, provided that consumers are informed, it is now time for the long-promised sale of gasoline and ethanol via delivery to be authorized by the National Agency of Biofuels, ANP. Together, these measures could become the ‘solution’ to contain and curb the increase in gasoline prices, easing the burden on consumers.
With this, gas stations will be able to deliver common gasoline or ethanol to homes. However, the regulation takes effect 180 days after publication of the resolution in the Official Gazette.
Under the rule, fuel delivery will only be allowed for the delivery of ethanol and ‘type C’ gasoline (the common type sold at gas stations). Supply must occur in the same municipality in which the dealer is authorized to operate.
