A gas station employee refuels a car in Brasilia November 7, 2014. State-run Brazilian oil producer Petrobras raised its wholesale gasoline and diesel prices for the first time in more than 11 months on Thursday in a move that could bolster the finances of the heavily indebted company after years of refining losses. The cost of gasoline at the refinery gate will rise 3 percent and diesel 5 percent effective midnight (0200 GMT) on Friday, Petroleo Brasileira SA, as Petrobras is formally known, said in a statement. The increases are before taxes and the figures reflect the average of increases across the country. REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino (BRAZIL - Tags: POLITICS BUSINESS COMMODITIES)
