During the same period, the price of hydrated ethanol at gas stations fell slightly, with a national average of R$ 3.696 per liter. Mato Grosso offered the lowest price, while Amazonas recorded the highest average.

Regarding gasoline, there was price stability, with a national average of R$ 5.864 per liter. Rio Grande do Norte presented the most affordable price, while Roraima had the highest average. The trend for gasoline is relative stability, unless there are significant adjustments from Petrobras or changes in external factors affecting its price.
