Regular diesel will become more expensive in October, according to Edenred.

According to the latest analysis from 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 became more expensive in October compared to September, reaching an average price of R$ 6,19, an increase of 0,32%. Meanwhile, S-10 diesel had an average price of R$ 6,21, the same value recorded in September.

“The price of regular diesel saw a slight increase in October, while S-10 remained stable. Despite the slight increase, the market shows signs of stabilization after a first half of the year marked by more abrupt variations. Diesel continues to be the fuel with the greatest weight in transportation costs, which means that any price movement has a direct impact on the entire logistics chain,” analyzes Renato Mascarenhas, Supply Network Director at Edenred Mobilidade.
