Paraná gas cylinder prices rise by up to R$ 9

The average price of a 13 kg gas cylinder in Paraná has increased by up to R$ 9. According to the Union of Resellers of Gas Distributors of the State of Paraná (Sinregás), the hike is driven by collective labor agreement negotiations, adjustments by bottling companies, and rising operational costs, including fuel, fleet maintenance, insurance, and regulatory obligations.

Data from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) showed the average price for a 13 kg cylinder in the state was R$ 111.52 as of late August. Regional variations are significant: Pato Branco recorded the highest price at R$ 130.31, while São José dos Pinhais recorded the lowest at R$ 101.43. In Curitiba, the average price is expected to range between R$ 115.13 and R$ 116.63.

Sinregás noted that these figures are sector estimates rather than official price tables. Actual costs may vary based on specific reseller operations, including regional location, sales volume, transport distance, and tax regimes.
