Gasoline more expensive again, at least for this moment, Brazilians face higher prices at gas stations.
The Brazilian has noticed in recent days an increase in the price of gasoline at all stations in the country. This brought a lot of concern to everyone, after all it is expected to have an impact on other products and services.
We often think about UBER, or taxi drivers, but an increase in the price of gasoline directly impacts all Brazilians.
This occurs not only for those who own a car, but directly we all suffer the effect. Thus, we expect a time of higher inflation in products and services.
See how more expensive gasoline again disrupts your life a lot.
What made gasoline more expensive?
In the first place, all Brazilians will remember a short time ago, when fuel was very expensive for consumers.
This factor mobilized Brazilians of all categories, including public demonstrations against high prices at gas stations.
We had a truck drivers' strike, a fact that turned the country into a huge mess, with fuel shortages at gas stations and products in markets.
Anyway, to lower consumer prices, the last government removed fuel taxes. This action brought the value to the level we were paying recently.
However, the federal government, which took office this year, understood that it needed to collect taxes on fuel again.
This decision will not affect diesel, which will remain tax-free, at least until the end of the year.
Thus, the impact may be smaller for the final consumer, as truck drivers will not be affected now.
What is the expected increase in gasoline?
At first, the consumer already felt the increase in gasoline in his pocket, this increase came into effect on March 1st.
The expected increase in posts should not exceed R$ 0.34 cents per litre. According to the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad.

Thus, consumers who find abusive prices must report it, as in other years, some gas stations charge abusive amounts.
All complaints must be addressed to the National Consumer Secretariat, so the owners of the posts will be notified and punished.
In some places there is a difference of up to R$ 1 between gas stations in the same city. This factor already demonstrates that there is abuse in prices.
Consumers should be aware, and look for lower value gas stations within their municipality.
Will ethanol have readjustment?
Finally, ethanol should not have readjustment, despite the tax having increased, however, the increase was only R$ 0.02.
Thus, consumers who fill their cars with ethanol will not suffer from the increase in fuel prices.

According to the Ministry of Finance, ethanol would not suffer the impact of the reencumbrance due to its essence. Ethanol is a bio-fuel, a renewable source, so it would not be re-encumbered.
In the end, consumers with a flex-fuel car will have to make the calculations to see if it pays to fill up with gasoline or ethanol.
To make this calculation is very simple, just multiply the value of gasoline by 0.7, if the result is less than the price of ethanol, fill up with gasoline.
