Petrobras Increases Gasoline Price by 3.5% at Refineries Starting Today, April 30. The Diesel Price Remains Unchanged at R$2.2470.

Average price per liter rises to R$ 2.045, the highest level since October 23 of last year at R$2.0639. The new price comes just 6 days after the last adjustment, which occurred on April 23 of this month. It should be noted that the pass-through to gas stations will depend on variables such as taxes and profit margins of stations and distributors. The gasoline sold by Petrobras represents 32% of the final fuel price.

This is the first time since October 2018 that gasoline is sold by Petrobras at a price above R$ 2. In 2019, the price of fuel at the oil company’s refineries has accumulated an increase of 35.5%. At gas stations, the increase is lower at 3.7%, according to data from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels – ANP. The average price per liter of gasoline in the country is R$4.504.

However, the adjustment in gasoline prices does not necessarily mean that it will reach the pumps, as the pass-through to the final consumer will depend on a series of variables, such as the margins of resellers and distributors, taxes, and the mandatory blend of biofuels.

The diesel price was kept unchanged, with the last adjustment made on April 18, at 4.8%. This measure was taken six days after a rollback of a 5.7% increase. The government’s interference raised alarms, causing the company’s stock to drop, leading to a loss of R$32 billion in market value.

Petrobras has reduced the frequency of gasoline adjustments and, to avoid losses, especially in the external market, has used a financial protection mechanism known as hedge, which allows for extending the intervals between gasoline price adjustments at refineries by up to 15 days.

This month, the state-owned company announced a change in the way it discloses fuel prices. Petrobras decided to publish the prices of fuels at all its points of sale on its website, no longer providing the average as it had previously done.

Petrobras announced this Monday, April 29, that it has opened the bidding for the leasing of the Fafens, as the company’s nitrogen fertilizer plants in Sergipe (Fafen-SE) and Bahia (Fafen-BA) are known.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Car dealerships avoid these used cars like they’re bombs: famous engines, problematic belts, and expensive transmissions can turn a common purchase into a huge loss in the USA.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

More than 160 million gallons of water, equivalent to 240 Olympic swimming pools, need to be pumped to remove a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier from dry dock; each of these ships undergoes a complete overhaul costing US$2.8 billion.

With installments starting from R$ 999 per month, a 75 hp 1.0 engine, a 7-inch TFT digital panel, and standard stability control, the Citroën C3 is the cheapest hatchback in Brazil in 2026 and still leaves Kwid, Argo, and Mobi behind in onboard technology.
