The ranking released by the ANP showed that residents of Piauí pay significantly more than consumers in other states. Piauí is the only state where the average price for a liter of gasoline is above R$ 8. Today, the liter is traded in the state for R$ 8.13 on average.

Due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, gasoline prices have risen worldwide. In 2016, Brazil began applying the Import Parity Price (IPP). Until that point, the country controlled fuel prices as a way to protect consumers from inflation. However, this measure caused significant losses for Petrobras.

Natural Gas Prices Increased By 19%

The new prices for natural gas came into effect this Sunday, May 1. Petrobras announced a 19% increase in the price charged to distributors. This price will not change in the next quarter, when a new adjustment is expected based on oil prices and currency fluctuations.
