For the Retail Fuel Trade Federation (Sindicombustíveis-DF), the Federal District and other states in the Federation may run out of gasoline. According to the president of the federation, Paulo Tavares, although More than last Monday (10/11/11), there is still a lag in the prices charged Petrobras.

“There can indeed be a shortage of products, as importing fuel is much more expensive. Petrobras is self-sufficient in oil, but it cannot refine enough for the country’s domestic consumption, so distributors are now trying to buy from Petrobras because it is cheaper than importing,” Paulo explained.

As demand increases, Petrobras will lower future sales quotas so distributors don’t run out of product, the president says. The other consequence, according to Tavares, is that distributors are importing more expensive ones so they don’t run out of fuel.

In this scenario, the president of Sindicombustíveis said, distributors are “passing the cost on to resale, thus holding Petrobras and the government responsible for this potential increase in order to make up for the Petrobras gap.”
