At stations surveyed by ANP across the country, the average price of ethanol fell 0.50%, going from R$4.02 to R$4 per liter. In São Paulo, the main producing and consuming state, in addition to having the largest number of evaluated stations, the value fell 0.80%, from R$3.73 to R$3.70 per liter.
The biggest percentage increase was recorded in the Federal District, where a liter of ethanol increased 8.88%, to R$4.17. The biggest drop occurred in Rio Grande do Norte, with a drop of 2.78%, to R$5.24 per liter. Prices remained stable in Paraíba, Roraima and Rondônia.
The lowest value found at a gas station was R$2.80 per liter, in São Paulo. The highest price, R$6.59, was recorded in Pernambuco. Among the state averages, São Paulo had the lowest value, at R$3.70, while Amapá had the highest, at R$5.81 per liter.
Competitiveness
Last week, ethanol was more competitive compared to gasoline in ten states and the Federal District. In the national average of the stations surveyed, biofuel presented a parity of 60.98% compared to gasoline, a percentage considered favorable. The data refers to the period from July 26th to August 1st.
The ratio was 69.82% in Acre; 68.67% in Amazonas; 67.53% in Bahia; 63.66% in the Federal District; 63.17% in Goiás; 55% in Mato Grosso; 60.50% in Mato Grosso do Sul; 64.53% in Minas Gerais; 62.87% in Paraná; 68.87% in Santa Catarina; and 57.90% in São Paulo.
Industry executives state that ethanol can be advantageous even when the parity exceeds 70%, depending on the vehicle model. According to the most used methodology, however, biofuel is considered economically more attractive when its price corresponds to up to 70% of the value of gasoline.
Public competitions remain scheduled during the election period
