Rio de Janeiro stood out with the highest average price of gasoline in November. The fuel was sold at BRL 7,330 at gas stations in Rio de Janeiro. In São Paulo, despite the increase of 7,46% recorded for gasoline, the average price at the pumps was R$ 6,456, the lowest among the other States in the Region.

Gasoline is not the only villain: Rio de Janeiro registers a significant increase of 10,93% for ethanol, which reaches R$ 6,473 at the pumps

The same scenario was repeated for ethanol, which was found with the lowest averages at São Paulo gas stations, at R$ 5,302, even with an increase of 13,19% in relation to the previous month. Rio de Janeiro also registered a significant increase of 10,93% for fuel, which was sold at R$ 6,473, the most expensive average in the regional balance.

“A few months ago, the IPTL has been pointing to an increasing rise in the average price of gasoline sold in the Southeast. Despite this constancy, when compared to ethanol in the 70/30 ratio, gasoline is the most advantageous option for the pocket of the consumer who supplies fuel in all four states of the region, according to Ticket Log”, points out Douglas Pina, Head of Urban Market by Edenred Brasil.

Diesel gives a respite to consumers' pockets by showing the smallest variations

Common diesel and S-10 diesel had the lowest price variations in the Southeast, with an average increase of 6,46%. As well as at the end of October, the two types of diesel were found with the highest average value at the Minas Gerais service stations, at R$ 5,486 for the common diesel and R$ 5,558 for the S-10 type. Rio de Janeiro, on the other hand, had the lowest prices for both fuels – regular diesel was sold at R$5,324 and S-10 at R$5,399. São Paulo pumps also registered an average of R$ 5,324 for common diesel. In the national balance, the common type was sold at R$ 5,368 and the S-10 at R$ 5,453.
