According to the latest analysis of the Edenred Ticket Log Price Index (IPTL), a survey that consolidates the price behavior of transactions at gas stations, providing an accurate average, regular diesel ended September with the same average value as the previous month, of R$6,10. Stability was also recorded for the S-10 type, which closed the period at R$6,17 on the national average, after a reduction of 0,16%, compared to the closing of August.

“Both types of fuel have shown small variations in recent months and, based on the behavior we have observed in average regional prices, the tendency is for stability to remain until the end of the year, if there are no adjustments”, analyzes Douglas Pina, General Director of Mobility at Edenred Brasil.

In the regional analysis, only the Southeast region showed an increase in the average price of regular diesel, of 0,17%, reaching R$6,03.
