The 6.6% increase awarded by Petrobras for regular gasoline at its refineries, which went into effect on Wednesday (30), will lead the consumer to seek supply your vehicle with ethanol, which is replaced by larger competitiveness compared to fossil derived.
  The prediction was made by the president of the Association of Retail Fuels and Lubricants and Convenience Stores in the city of Rio de Janeiro (Sindicomb), Manuel Fonseca da Costa.


In assessing the president Sindicom, the increase is bad for both the consumer and the retailer, since the tendency at first is that there is contraction in demand both petrol as diesel - also readjusted at Petrobras refineries at 5.4%.


Estimates of Fonseca da Costa, with adjustments promoted by Petrobras, gasoline will average increase at the pumps between 4.5% and 5%, while the diesel will be between 4% and 4.5%.


"And of course there will be, at first, falling demand from both derivatives, although the consumer always ends up getting used. Anyway, ethanol will be well below the average of 30% difference compared to gasoline, margin required to give the product more competitive, "he said.


In assessing the president Sindicomb, while today the consumer pays between R$ 2.09 to R $ 2.19 for a liter of alcohol, gasoline, with the increase announced by Petrobras, will cost at the pumps between R$ 2.90 to R$ 3.00 a gallon.
