According to Ricardo Henrique, a specialist from IPTC, the previous week showed a relative stability in diesel prices, still aligned with the upward trend. “The maintenance of this stability scenario in certain areas may continue in the coming weeks, alleviating fears of significant increases in fuel prices, as recently announced by Petrobras,” Ricardo emphasized. He also pointed out that the lack of complete data hindered a broader analysis of price variation in all capitals.

In the survey, Rio Branco holds the position of the capital with the highest diesel prices, with S10 diesel costing R$6.98 and common diesel at R$6.92. In contrast, João Pessoa emerges as an economic refuge, where S10 is sold for R$6.00 and common at R$5.78.
