The Federal cartel office had shown in 2011 in a so-called sector analysis, that fuel at the gas station up to 11 cents per litre were to such occasions, often more expensive than a few days in advance. That was, however, a couple of years. Meanwhile, the prices vary at the gas station in the daily routine much more than before; maybe the oil companies have not, therefore, it is necessary to follow holidays and vacation.
