Grana equates to more expensive revisions popular as the Ford Ka, and Celtic Classic
Fill up your car at the supermarket can generate savings of R$ 732 per year. The difference equals the price charged in reviews of more expensive models like the popular Ford Ka, or Classic Chevrolet Celta, all 1.0, for example.
By simulating the prices charged in Extra hypermarkets and Carrefour with conventional gas stations in the western region of São Paulo - below, follow the amounts charged in establishments for both petrol as for alcohol.
Both alcohol as gasoline are supplied by large supermarket chains in the country fuels In other words, the product that comes out of the pump market is the same as Petrobras, of Ipiranga or network Ale.
Thus, the consumer moves from São Paulo, for example, the rank Gate Ltda (R$ 2.90, a liter of gasoline), in Little River region in the west of the state capital, at the supermarket put the same neighborhood (R$ 2.49), will save R$ 732 in a year. The spent fuel was based on the average annual mileage of 25,000 kilometers used by major automakers in engineering tests.
The difference of R$ 0.41 between the two stations becomes a value greater than the price of the most expensive revision of the Ford Ka (40,000 km), the Chevrolet Celta (60,000 km) and the Classic (60,000 km), all being 1.0.
By varying the price of alcohol, go to fuel the car at the station also compensates the supermarket, since the difference in price for ethanol is R$ 0.38 in São Paulo neighborhood.
The price difference in gas stations throughout Brazil can be seen in www.precodoscombustíveis.com.br, which receives the updated prices of ANP periodically.
Convenience
Shortly after 1997, when permission for opening positions extended beyond the exclusive brands in the industry, the consumer market gained with a variety of price and lost with security about the quality of the product. The manager of the unit put the Extra supermarket, Sergio Groba says that was the moment that hypermarkets entered the branch.
- We realize that consumers now have more options, but also distrust grew. With that, the supermarket thought of adding more services, enhancing the convenience, focusing on capital.
After imported from Europe by Carrefour, the model put in the supermarket supply has already been adopted by Grupo Pao de Acucar and also put in the extra - network which already has 82 stations in nine Brazilian states.
Quality care
There are more than 39,000 gas stations throughout Brazil. However, competition does not always translate to more competitive pricing. In northern Brazil, for example, only 5% of gas stations offer gas below R$ 2.70 per liter, while 40% of them charge R$ 3 or more. In the Northeast, only 1% of those charges R$ 3 or more, according to the latest data from the ANP (National Petroleum Agency).
Product quality is also quite variable. The ANP does not regulate the price of fuel in the country, only the quality. The organization says there is no record of substandard quality in the ranks of supermarket chains surveyed. The agency, however, gives its recommendations.
- The exclusive distributor blanked (white flag) must inform each pump supplier, which was the distributor who supplied the fuel.
Furthermore, complete the ANP, the pumps must have the seal of INMETRO (National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality) and therefore the posts can not refuse to prove the quality of products. That is, if the driver requests, the establishment is required to prove the quality of products.
