Rio de Janeiro, where almost all gas stations have been shut for several days, saw some fuel deliveries. In Sao Paulo, the big Ribeirao Preto oil terminal was back online after the truckers' blockade was lifted. However, despite these partial improvements, transport remained paralyzed in much of the country, crippling the vast agricultural industry and making commutes a nightmare for millions. The prolonged strike comes despite President Michel Temer agreeing on Sunday to a key demand to cut the price of diesel fuel. Temer is Brazil's most unpopular president in history, according to polls.
