Competitiveness
Ethanol is more competitive in relation to gasoline in Bahia, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná and São Paulo. In the rest of the States, it remains more advantageous to fill up your car with gasoline.
According to the ANP survey compiled by AE-Fees, in the period, in the average of stations surveyed in the country, ethanol is at a parity of 62.74% compared to gasoline, therefore favorable in comparison with the petroleum derivative. Parity was 68.40% in Bahia, 65.72% in the Federal District, 64.83% in Goiás, 56.59% in Mato Grosso, 63.31% in Mato Grosso do Sul, 63.28% in Minas Gerais, 65.33% in Paraná and 61.54% in São Paulo.
Industry executives note that ethanol can be competitive even with parity greater than 70%, depending on the vehicle in which the biofuel is used.
