Anecra — Associação Nacional das Empresas do Comércio e da Reparação Automóvel (association of car dealers and repairers)

An industry association of car dealerships, car repair garages and fuel retailers. It is best known for being the first each week, usually on a Thursday or Friday, to say how much fuel prices will rise or fall from the following Monday. It is not a state body: its figure is an industry forecast, not an official price.

Where you come across it. News about fuel prices for the coming week.
It really is just a forecast: the final price depends on where oil prices close on Friday and on the euro–dollar exchange rate. A difference of two or three cents a litre is quite normal.
