September Brings Variations in Prices: Diesel Rises While Gasoline and Ethanol Show Slight Decline.

In September, Brazilian drivers noticed significant differences in fuel prices. Diesel recorded an increase of 0.54%, while gasoline and ethanol experienced slight declines of 0.30% and 0.07%, respectively. For those with flex vehicles, ethanol proved to be more economical in 15 states in Brazil.

Variations in Gasoline

Based on the weekly study by ValeCard, a mobility specialist, from September 8 to 14, the price of gasoline decreased by 0.30%. São Paulo stood out for having the most affordable price, while Rondônia had the highest price.

Brendon Rodrigues, head of innovation at ValeCard, attributes this stabilization in gasoline prices to ethanol, which is becoming more economically attractive. However, he warns of potential changes in the coming weeks due to Petrobras adjustments and fluctuations in the oil market.

Ethanol and Its Competitiveness

During the same week, hydrated ethanol, widely used as fuel, also saw a reduction of 0.07%. Rodrigues comments that this decline is linked to the increase in sugarcane production, influencing the entire production chain of the fuel.

For owners of flex vehicles, the decision between filling up with gasoline or ethanol is crucial. According to ValeCard’s standards, ethanol is financially advantageous when its price per liter is up to 70% of the price of gasoline.

Rise in Diesel Prices

Finally, diesel, an essential fuel for cargo transportation in the country, saw an increase of 0.54% in its price. Rio Grande do Sul offered the most affordable diesel, while Roraima had the highest price.

Conclusion

With the constant variation in fuel prices, drivers need to stay alert to fluctuations and the economic benefits of each option. The research and analyses from ValeCard prove essential for understanding the market and making more informed choices when fueling our vehicles.
