According to the ERSE report, released this Monday, the efficient price registered an update, “taking into account the weekly variation of international quotations for regular gasoline by +2% and for regular diesel by -2.7%;”.
Therefore, “for the week of April 22 to 28, the Preço Eficiente before taxes is €0.938 per liter for regular gasoline and €0.893 for regular diesel. After taxes, the Preço Eficiente stands at €1.864 per liter for regular gasoline and €1.644 for regular diesel”.
It is worth noting that the efficient price “is a weekly average price determined by the ERSE and results from the sum of the following components: fuel prices in international reference markets and their respective maritime freights, primary logistics, including strategic reserves and security of the National Petroleum System, extra costs for the incorporation of biofuels, and the retail component increased by the respective taxes”.
