The average price at gas stations was, in the week from August 22 to 28, for gasoline, 2.3 cents above the average weekly price determined by the ERSE and 1.6 cents below diesel.
Thus, according to information from the Weekly Report on Supervision of Retail Prices, published this Monday by the Energy Services Regulatory Authority (ERSE), “in relation to the previous week, it was found that the average Retail Prices announcements on the porticos, and reported in the Balcão Único da Energia, were 2.3 cents/l above the Efficient Price for that week, in the case of simple gasoline 95 and 1.6 cents/l lower in the case of plain diesel.
According to the regulator, “in percentage terms, plain 95 gasoline was advertised on the porches 1.3% above the Efficient Price and plain diesel was advertised 0.9% below the Efficient Price.”
The efficient price “is an average weekly price determined by the ERSE and results from the sum of the following components: fuel prices in the international reference markets and the respective maritime freight, primary logistics, including in this part the strategic reserves and of security of the National Oil System, the cost overruns with the incorporation of biofuels and the retail component plus the respective taxes”, explained ERSE.
The entity highlighted that “still in comparison with the previous week”, with regard to the reduced prices, which are the average prices published by the General Directorate of Energy and Geology (DGEG), “simple gasoline 95 showed a deviation of -2.2% compared to the Efficient Price and simple diesel -5.1%”.
Thus, “in absolute terms, these estimates are – 4.0 cents/l for simple 95 gasoline, and – 9.1 cents/l for simple diesel, below the respective Efficient Prices”.
According to information published by ERSE, for this week (August 29 to September 4), “the Efficient Price before taxes is 1,012 euros/l for simple 95 gasoline and 1,281 euros/l for simple diesel. After taxes, the Efficient Price is 1,806 euros/l and 1,986 euros/l, for normal gasoline 95 and normal diesel, respectively”.
