Petrobras announced this Sunday (31) a 9.59% reduction in the price of diesel A for distributors. With the change, which starts this Monday (1st), the price per liter of fuel will drop from R$ 3.65 to R$ 3.30. In a statement, the state-owned company said that the cut is due to the diesel subsidy announced by the federal government. On Saturday (30), the government extended some measures that seek to contain the rise in fuel prices amid the continuation of the war between the United States and Israel against Iran. Among the measures announced on Saturday was the granting of a new economic subsidy to producers and importers of diesel oil for road use in the country, in the amount of R$ 1.12/liter.
