Ethanol X Gasoline
Ethanol was competitive with gasoline in Mato Grosso, São Paulo, Goiás, Minas Gerais and the Federal District in the week between July 9th and 15th. In the rest of the States, it was still more advantageous to fill the car with gasoline.
According to a survey by the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP) compiled by the AE-Fees, in the period, in the average of stations surveyed in the country, ethanol is at a parity of 68.74% compared to gasoline, therefore favorable to fueling with petroleum derivatives. The parity was 63.15% in Mato Grosso, 67.95% in São Paulo, 68.16% in Goiás, 70.00% in Minas Gerais and 69.88% in the DF.
Industry executives observe that ethanol can be competitive even with a parity greater than 70%, depending on the vehicle in which the biofuel is used.
