The Regulatory Authority for Energy Services (ERSE) revealed that the average weekly price of fuels has decreased compared to last week, by 1.3% for gasoline and 0.9% for diesel.
According to the report from ERSE, the efficient price has been updated, “taking into account the weekly variation of international quotations for regular gasoline at -3.2% and for regular diesel at -1.9%”.
Thus, “for the week of December 18 to 24, the Preço Eficiente before taxes is €0.757 per liter for regular gasoline and €0.849 for regular diesel. After taxes, the Preço Eficiente is €1.643 per liter for regular gasoline and €1.589 for regular diesel”.
It should be noted that the efficient price “is a weekly average price determined by ERSE and results from the sum of the following components: fuel prices in international reference markets and their maritime freight, primary logistics, including strategic and security reserves of the National Petroleum System, additional costs for the incorporation of biofuels, and the retail component plus the respective taxes”.
Regarding the previous week, the report states that “the average of the announced Retail Prices at the fuel stations, as reported in the Energy Single Counter, was 3 cents per liter above the Preço Eficiente for that week, in the case of regular gasoline, and 4.8 cents above in the case of regular diesel”.
In percentage terms, “regular gasoline was announced at the fuel stations 1.8% above the Preço Eficiente and regular diesel was 2.9% above”, according to the report.
