Diesel Became More Expensive at Fuel Stations. None of the Five Brazilian Regions Showed a Decrease in Fuel Prices

According to the latest survey by the Ticket Log Price Index, referring to the first half of April, the average price of a liter of diesel increased by over 3% compared to the end of March. The common type closed the period at R$ 6.864, an increase of 3.96% compared to the previous month, which was at R$ 6.603. Meanwhile, the S-10 type rose by 3.62%, closing at R$ 6.984.

Diesel became more expensive at fuel stations in all five Brazilian regions, with the South recording the highest increase for the common type, at 5.40%, with the price rising from R$ 6.152 at the end of the previous month to R$ 6.484 in the first half of April. The highest increase for the S-10 type was recorded in the Northeast (4.32%), where the price rose from R$ 6.762 to R$ 7.054.

North Region Records the Highest Average Price for Both Types of Diesel Fuel

As in March, the highest average price for both types of diesel was recorded at stations in the North Region, at R$ 7.094 for the common type, an increase of 3.10%, and R$ 7.221 for the S-10 type, with an increase of 2.88% in price. The South Region had the lowest averages: R$ 6.484 for the common type and R$ 6.549 for the S-10.  

In the state-by-state analysis, Sergipe stood out with the highest increase in the price of common diesel, at 6.67%, rising from R$ 6.883 to R$ 7.342. The highest increase for the S-10 type was recorded at fuel stations in Paraíba (7.04%), where the price rose from R$ 6.494 to R$ 6.951.

Latest Increase Announced in Transfers to Refineries Reflects Over 14% Increase for Consumers

“In March, the IPTL identified an increase of over 14% in the price of diesel, reflecting the latest increase announced in transfers to refineries. In the first half of April, this variation in increase receded, but the scenario remains one of rising prices. No region of the country recorded a decrease in fuel prices, but rather a spike in prices that reaches over 5%, as is the case in the South Region,” emphasizes the General Director of Mainstream of the Fleet and Mobility division of Edenred Brazil.
