The S-10 type closed the first days of the month at R＄ 5,17 and was 0,98% more expensive.

“After reductions identified in recent months and a slowdown in price declines identified in July, the average price of a liter of diesel became more expensive for Brazilian drivers at the beginning of August, a reflection of market movements in supply and growing demand for the fuel. For this reason, we had a slight increase in regular Diesel and S-10, of R＄0,03 and R＄0,05, successively.”, points out Douglas Pina, General Director of Mobility at Edenred Brasil.
