Adjustment in Gasoline and Diesel Prices Serves to Compensate for All Investment Made by Petrobras for Oil Exploration, Production, Refining, Transportation, and Oil Derivatives

After the increase in prices of gasoline, diesel, and LPG, Petrobras issued a statement on April 23, informing that regarding the recent reports comparing gasoline prices sold to the final consumer in Brazil and other countries, the state-owned company clarifies that the price of gasoline sold in the Brazilian market is the market price, of economic balance, and ensures that supply is sufficient to meet national demand.

It is important to highlight that the prices charged by Petrobras are different from those perceived by the final consumer at retail.

Average Gasoline Price for Final Consumers in Brazil Is Lower than Prices Charged in Over 50 Countries

Petrobras also informs that according to the ranking from GlobalPetrolPrices.com, the average gasoline price for final consumers in Brazil is lower than prices charged in over 50 countries.

Increase in Fuel Prices Prevents Supply Shortage Risks

“It is worth emphasizing that the prices practiced by Petrobras in selling fuels to distribution companies aim at the same time to (i) maintain structural balance with the prices practiced in the global fuel market and (ii) avoid passing on the volatility of international prices and exchange rates, marked by conjunctural events,” said the state-owned company in the statement.

“This responsible practice is fundamental for the Brazilian market to continue being supplied, without risks of shortages, by the different actors responsible for serving the various Brazilian regions: distributors, importers, and other producers, in addition to Petrobras,” concludes the Brazilian oil company.

Increase in Fuel Prices Prevents Supply Shortage Risks

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.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

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.
