Also for carriers in the eastern zone who buy this fuel for vehicles, buses, dredges or trucks, the superior gasoline will cost US$4.54, US$4.33 for regular gasoline and US$4.39 for diesel.

The institution affirms that the increase in oil, gasoline and diesel reserves, according to reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA), has resulted in lower international hydrocarbon prices.

The increase in interest rates announced by the United States Federal Reserve (FED) has had an impact on the reduction of the demand for oil derivatives.

In addition, the change in temperature in the United States has allowed the consumption of diesel for heating purposes to decrease, favoring an accelerated drop in international market prices.
