THE Petrobras announced that he will reduce gasoline and diesel prices from this Wednesday (7).

The average sale value of diesel A from the state-owned company to distributors will go from R$ 4.89 to R$ 4.49 per liter, a reduction of R$ 0.40 per liter – or 8.17%.

These are the first reductions since September.

In the case of gasoline, considering the mandatory blend of 73% A gasoline and 27% anhydrous ethanol for the composition of gasoline sold at service stations, Petrobras’ share in the consumer price will be, on average, R$ 2.25 each liter sold at the pump.

In diesel, the state-owned company explained that considering the mandatory mixture of 90% diesel A and 10% biodiesel for the composition of the diesel sold at the stations, the share of the state-owned company in the consumer price will be, on average, R$ 4.04 a every liter sold at the pump.

“These reductions accompany the evolution of reference prices and are consistent with Petrobras’ pricing practice, which seeks to balance its prices with the market, but without passing on to domestic prices the conjunctural volatility of quotations and the exchange rate “, explained the state.
