People from Alagoas pay for the most expensive gasoline in the Northeast.
The information comes from the National Council of Finance Policy (Confaz), which requires that the price of fuel in the state be reduced to R$ 2,9610 starting January 1, 2014; the determination published in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) also establishes that the price per liter of diesel be fixed at R$ 2,383 and the price per kg of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), known as cooking gas, at R$ 3,096.
Alagoas247 - The National Council of Finance Policy (Confaz) has determined that the average price per liter of gasoline charged by gas stations in Alagoas, starting January 1, 2014, should be R$ 2,9610. The determination, published in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) on Monday, the 23rd, also sets the price of diesel at R$ 2,383 per liter, and the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), popularly known as cooking gas, at R$ 3,096 per kg.
In addition to Alagoas, fuel prices were determined for 18 other Brazilian states – including the nine in the Northeast region, where the state has the highest price for gasoline. With a liter at R$ 2,863, Paraíba has the lowest price in the region, followed by Piauí (R$ 2,864), Maranhão (R$ 2,888), and Sergipe (R$ 2,909). Nationally, Acre has the highest price, at R$ 3,373.
Despite having the most expensive gasoline in the Northeast, the price set by Confaz for fuel in Alagoas is within the average of prices currently charged by gas stations in the state, which may put an end to the controversial readjustment made by the sector even before Petrobras officially announced, exactly one month ago, a 4% increase for gasoline and an 8% increase for diesel.
