© 2023: average sale price of diesel, price to consumer of diesel A, biodiesel, gasoline C, and anhydrous ethanol.

Starting tomorrow (12/27), Petrobras will announce a reduction of R$ 0.30 per liter in its average sale price of diesel A to distributors, which will be adjusted to R$ 3.48 per liter.

The adjustment made by the company is the result of an analysis of the fundamentals of the external and internal markets, in accordance with its commercial strategy implemented in May 2023. This change in pricing policy began to incorporate parameters that reflect Petrobras’s best refining and logistics conditions in its pricing, making it more competitive in the market.

Impact of Petrobras on Fuel Commercialization

Considering the mandatory blend of 88% diesel A and 12% biodiesel for the composition of diesel sold at gas stations, Petrobras’s share in the price to consumer will have a reduction of R$ 0.31 per liter, totaling an average of R$ 3.07 per liter sold at the pump.

Price Variation of Diesel A S10

The average price of diesel A S10 at the pumps may reflect values between R$ 4.46 and R$ 8.31 per liter, depending on the sales location, based on the ANP’s Fuel Price Survey for the week of 12/17 to 12/23/2023.

It is noteworthy that the amount effectively charged to the end consumer at the gas station is affected by various factors, including taxes, biofuel blends, and profit margins from distribution and resale.

Reduction in Sale Price of Diesel A

During the year, the accumulated variation in Petrobras’s sale price of diesel A to distributors is a reduction of R$ 1.21 per liter, equivalent to 22.5%.

Price Stability of Gasoline and Cooking Gas

For gasoline, at this moment, Petrobras is maintaining its sale prices to distributors stable, given the last movement made on 10/21/2023, a reduction of R$ 0.14 per liter.

In the year, Petrobras’s gasoline A prices for distributors have accumulated a reduction of R$ 0.32 per liter, equivalent to 8.7%.

Regarding LPG, our sale prices to distributors have remained stable since 07/01, with an accumulated reduction equivalent to R$ 12.48 per 13kg cylinder, or 24.7% for the year. Today, Petrobras’s share in the price to consumer is, on average, R$ 32.31 per 13kg cylinder.

Commitment to Price Transparency

Petrobras reiterates that in forming its prices it seeks to avoid passing on the conjunctural volatility of the international market and the exchange rate while preserving a healthy competitive environment in accordance with current legislation. Furthermore, the company publishes information on its website regarding its share and that of other agents in the formation and composition of average fuel prices to consumers, aiming to contribute to transparency and better understanding of society.
