In The Last Year The Price Of Gasoline And Ethanol Soared At Gas Stations And This Caused Many Employees To Continue Working From Home

Working From Home Eases The Burden Of Fuel Prices: Many companies have put their employees in home office due to the pandemic, accelerating a trend that was already taking shape in the corporate world. With the flexibilizations, many workers had the option to return to in-person work, resuming a more “normal” routine.

However, another unexpected factor ended up influencing the decision: the rise in fuel prices. It is no news that in the last year the price of gasoline and ethanol soared at gas stations, reaching R$ 8/liter, and this caused many employees to postpone their return to the offices and continue working from home. According to a survey by OnePoll, in partnership with Citrix Systems, 54% of employees prefer to work from home to avoid high fuel expenses. In the United States, the number is even higher (57%).

With Exorbitant Fuel Prices, The Savings From Working From Home Are Significant.

Companies and workers have learned in recent years how to make working from home effective and functional, as there was no other solution and, in the end, it turned out to be not as complicated as it seemed. With this cultural shift, various other costs and benefits began to be weighed, and with the exorbitant prices of gasoline, the savings from working from home are significant.

With Exorbitant Fuel Prices, The Savings From Working From Home Are Significant.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Oil drives Brazil’s GDP and repositions the country among the largest economies in the world.

Science discovers that the air is not empty as it seems, but rather a gigantic natural archive that stores DNA of animals, plants, and humans without anyone noticing.

Ocean warming spikes in 2026 even without El Niño, approaches the record of 2024, and raises global alarm with the Arctic at its lowest ice level and an energy imbalance of the Earth at its highest in 65 years.

The seven-blade propeller could equip the M700 FURY aircraft, making it quieter and more efficient, after certification from EASA.

Corn outside the window may dry out in May and June: rain will only last until the end of April, El Niño is still uncertain, and three waves of polar air may bring strong frosts as early as the second half of May.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
