Costs 0.74 US$ in the refinery, to give you the Brazilian context, and ~1.09 US$ in the gas station (without this new tax). Remember that the minimum wage here is ~265 US$.

Yes tbh that level of an increase is going to impact a lot of people struggling to get by. What’s the reason are the government giving for the increase?
The justification given by the government is that they need to raise tax collection by 29 billion BRL over 2022. The psycho in the president's chair says on tv that this tax raise will benefit the poorest as if the food would be teletransported from the market shelf to the plate.
