The gas has increased
The gas price price of gas has increased to more than R$ 4 in several gas stations in since(1) December 2017,(2) and the price is increasingly going up since then throughout the country. Influenced by the increase of the dollar and the petrol oil prices(3) and the dollar, the price table of fuels had a boom surged this month, let leaving consumers irritated and caused causing a trunk drivers' strike. That's blocked the road since Monday.1. "in" isn't wrong , but it implies the surge in prices happened in December only. I presume what you really want to say the price has increased from December onward. Note that if you actually add the "since," the second part of the sentence "...and the price is increasingly..." isn't needed anymore.
2. In general, shorter sentences are better than longer ones. Shorter sentences are easier to read. They make for a clear, easy to understand text. So in this case, I'd separate the sentences. "...December 2017. Since then, the price has continued to go up throughout the country."
3. I know I just corrected "gas price" before. I'm really sorry I can't explain why I corrected "gas price." It just sounds unnatural to me. However, "price of oil" is as acceptable as "oil prices".
