Petrobras announced this Monday (26) that it will reduce the price of A gasoline sold to distributors by 5.2%. The new price comes into effect from this Tuesday (27).
Gasoline A is the pure fuel that leaves refineries and is mixed with ethanol by distributors, so that it can be sold to the end consumer at gas stations.
With the reduction, Petrobras’ average selling price to distributors will be, on average, R$2.57 per liter, a reduction of R$0.14.
In the statement that announced the change in values, the company informs that, since December 2022, the drop in the price of gasoline reaches R$0.50 ─ a decrease of 26.9%, already considering the inflation of the period.
The last change in fuel prices was on October 21, 2025, when it became 4.9% cheaper.

Price at the pumps
Petrobras’ movement should represent relief in the country’s inflation, since gasoline is the product with the greatest weight in the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA), an indicator that calculates official inflation.
Despite Petrobras being the largest producer of fuel in the country, the price of gasoline at the pumps does not depend solely on the state-owned company. After the product is sold to distributors, is influenced by other costssuch as shipping, mixing with ethanol, tax collection and the profit margin of the stations.
Diesel
Petrobras informed that the price of diesel sold to distributors will not change. Since December 2022, the accumulated reduction in the price of fuel oil sold to distributors is 36.3%, considering inflation for the period.
