Obtained through the recording of transactions carried out between July 1st and 14th with the ValeCard refueling card at around 25,000 accredited establishments, the data shows that Amazonas (5.57%), Amapá (4.99%), and Rio Grande do Norte (4.46%) recorded the highest increases during the period. The smallest variations occurred in Mato Grosso do Sul (0.56%) and Pará (0.71%).

Among the capitals, the average price of fuel was R$ 5.937. Rio de Janeiro (R$ 6.374) and Rio Branco (R$ 6.340) had the highest prices in the first half of July. The lowest average prices were found in Curitiba (R$ 5.430) and João Pessoa (R$ 5.543).

Refueling with Ethanol Is Advantageous Only in Mato Grosso

The average price of ethanol in the country in the first half of June was R$ 4.344. Only in Mato Grosso is it advantageous to refuel vehicles with the fuel instead of gasoline – the method used in this analysis, discounting factors such as individual vehicle autonomies, is that to justify filling the tank with ethanol, the price per liter must be less than 70% of the gasoline price.

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.

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.
