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.

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.

The IPTL is a fuel price index based on refuels carried out at the 21,000 accredited Ticket Log stations, which has great reliability due to the number of vehicles managed by the brand: 1 million in total, with an average of eight transactions per second. Ticket Log, a fleet management and mobility solutions brand of Edenred Brazil, has over 30 years of experience and adapts to customer needs, offering modern and innovative solutions to simplify daily processes.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

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.

New noise radar starts to penalize irregular exhaust, excessive sound, and modified vehicles, and the technology is already changing the enforcement of noisy motorcycles and cars in Taiwan.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

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.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

Scientists discover unexpected climate benefit hidden in forest soils related to atmospheric methane absorption.

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
