Diesel is stable at pumps in 1st half of December, says Ticket Log

The average price of diesel remained practically stable in the first half of December at Brazilian service stations, reaching 5.619 reais per liter at the end of the period, compared to 5.617 reais per liter at the end of November, after several consecutive advances since April, according to a survey by Ticket Log (IPTL).

The S-10 diesel was sold at an average price of 5.682 reais per liter, compared to 5.681 reais in the previous month.

“Even with still high averages, it is worth noting this first indication of stability after consecutive increases since April”, said Douglas Pina, Head of Urban Market at Edenred Brasil.

In April of this year, the common diesel and the S-10 had a drop in price and were being sold at 4,449 reais and 4,496 reais, respectively. “Comparing with this same period, the current value is still around 26% more expensive”, added Pina.

The fuel price index is based on fueling carried out at 21 thousand accredited Ticket Log service stations.
