The most recent Ticket Log Price Index (IPTL) showed that, at the end of February, the price of Gas Comes from ethanol has remained high – and should continue to rise from March onwards, when will federal fuel taxes be collected.

The most expensive average for fuel was recorded in the service stations of Pará, at R$ 5.18, and the cheapest in Mato Grosso, at R$ 3.73, one of the few states to present ethanol with a lower savings margin and beneficial to procurement.
The price difference between the cheapest and most expensive average price for gasoline is 21%and for ethanol the 39%according to Edenred Brasil (supplemented by Ticket Log).
“The scenario is high for both and it is worth remembering that the return of federal tax collection on both fuels, starting in March, could reflect a further increase in the average price sold at pumps in the coming months,” Douglas Pina points out. Director General of Mobility at Edenred Brasil.
No region experienced a decrease in the price of gasoline, and only the Southeast, Midwest and South experienced decreases in the price of ethanol, of 2.09%, 1.71% and 1.15%, respectively.

“With the exception of Amazonas and Mato Grosso, the other states and the Federal District had gasoline as the most advantageous fuel to supply. However, because it is produced from sugar cane or corn, ethanol is considered more ecologically viable, capable of significantly reducing the emissions of gases responsible for climate change”, explains Pina.
