Strong drop in diesel, gasoline rises slightly

ZAP Notícias28 August 2026 at 11:44

Next Monday, the price of diesel is expected to drop 7.5 cents per liter, while gasoline should rise 1.5 cents. The Automóvel Club de Portugal forecasts that, on average, diesel will cost 1.996 euros per liter.

However, the article also mentions that during the week of August 31 to September 6, the liter of diesel becomes 7.5 cents more expensive, which contradicts the previous information about the price drop.

The Automóvel Club de Portugal is the source of these fuel price forecasts. The difference between the evolution of diesel and gasoline prices means that diesel vehicle drivers could benefit from significant savings, while gasoline users will face a small increase in fuel costs.

Quality apple harvest in Carrazeda de Ansiães but rain may cause damage

The apple harvest in Carrazeda de Ansiães, district of Bragança, is underway 10 days early due to heat, with fruit of excellent quality, good size and good coloration. This year's production is expected to be between 20 and 25 thousand tons, higher than last year's 15 to 18 thousand.

Family income commitment with debts rises to 29.8% in June and hits record, says Central Bank

The commitment of Brazilian families' income to debt payments reached a new record of 28.9% in June, according to data from the Central Bank, rising compared to 28.5% in May. The indicator, which measures the percentage of household budget allocated to debt installments, continues its upward trend despite the Desenrola 2.0 program launched by the federal government to renegotiate debts with lower interest rates. Excluding mortgage financing, the commitment stood at 26.6%. Meanwhile, overall indebtedness—which measures total debt relative to income—slightly declined from 49.9% to 49.8%, remaining at elevated levels.
