Truckers threaten to strike and can stop at any time against the new increase in diesel and fuel prices practiced by Petrobras
After another increase in the price of diesel, which suffered an average increase of R$ 0,25 per liter, truck drivers have been considering a new strike. The objective of the possible stoppage of the category is to induce the government to make fuel cheaper. The president of Sindtanque de Minas Gerais, the union that represents fuel transporters, stated in an interview with VEJA that demonstrations could take place at any time. The leaders, however, consider this movement still punctual.
The demand from truck drivers, who even promoted a historic strike against diesel prices in 2018, follows constant complaints from President Bolsonaro himself about the cost of fuel.
Even with the high dollar, fuel prices plummeted, reaching R$ 1,98 per liter of ethanol at the beginning of the pandemic, but it did not work and the consumer suffers from constant shots
The consumer's pocket, taxi drivers and the app have to deal with the constant readjustments in fuel prices practiced by Petrobras, but after all, how can one explain why ethanol, gasoline and diesel prices plummeted at the beginning of the pandemic, if the dollar was it extremely loud?
In February 2020, the beginning of the global crisis caused by the Covid 19 pandemic, fuel prices in general plummeted all over the world, but “not everything is rosy” and after May, we started to grow again.
Social isolation measures led to a drastic decrease in fuel consumption, both for transport and for industry.
As reported at the time, by us at Click Petróleo e Gas, oil was even traded at negative values, as without having a place to store it, many investors preferred to pay in order not to receive the purchased barrels.
That is, with gasoline and diesel much cheaper, alcohol had to drop in price as well. At the time, the technical director of Unica – União da Indústria de Cana-de-açúcar, informed that the sector had accumulated losses, even selling the biofuel below cost price.
But it didn't take long for the global market to adapt to the new situation and prices started to rise again, despite threats of a truck drivers' strike. With gasoline and ethanol demand on the rise, prices consequently rose, and losses at the pump were fixed. Read the full story here.
After loyalty to the flag at gas stations was released, the ANP authorized on the last 4th, the sale of gasoline and ethanol via delivery; measure can reduce the price of fuel and ease the consumer's pocket
After to be approved on August 11th for the direct sale of ethanol and the end of loyalty to the brand at gas stations, that is, which allows gas stations that display brands from a specific distributor to start selling fuels from other suppliers, as long as the consumer is informed, the time has come for the much-promised sale of gasoline and ethanol via delivery to be released by the National Biofuel Agency, the ANP. Taken together, measures can become the 'solution' to contain and curb the rise in gasoline prices, and relieve consumers' pockets.
With this, the stations will be able to deliver regular gasoline or ethanol at home. The measure, however, enters into force 180 days after the publication of the resolution in the Official Gazette.
According to the norm, the delivery of fuels can only be made for the delivery of ethanol and 'type C' gasoline (the common one sold at gas stations). The supply must take place in the same municipality in which the dealer is authorized to operate.
