The Casino brand has decided to extend the “fuel work” for the summer holidays, which will reduce the bill for many motorists! https://t.co/SfW74jJthE

For ten days already, French motorists, and even foreigners, can take advantage of the beauty delivery proposed by the government. And it is not for nothing that he reaches the bar of 30 cents, an amount that can be called generous. And this small increase is obviously welcome as petrol and diesel prices have risen significantly in recent months. Very strong growth, which at the time was attributed to several factors, including the war in Ukraine, which caused a sharp rise in oil prices. If it’s down a bit, the situation is still volatile, and the discount came just in time to help drivers in dire straits. But unfortunately, it won’t last forever…

To a sharp rise?

Indeed, as the government has warned, 30 cents off will end on October 31, two months from now. It will run for 10 cents in November and December before, no doubt, disappearing for good. But what will happen then? Can fuel prices skyrocket? To tell the truth, it is difficult to predict what will happen. But if we take the example of Germany, maybe so. Indeed, our neighbors’ discount ended on September 1. The next day, petrol and diesel prices rose sharply, returning above the 2 euro per liter mark. Diesel, for example, is billed at €2.40 compared to €2.28 for unleaded 98.

Hard to tell

But this does not necessarily mean that it will be the same for us. Indeed, fuel price fluctuations are volatile, especially at this time. It is possible that the geopolitical situation will calm down and prices for butter turn down, or, conversely, turn up. Everything depends on the progress of the conflict and the decisions taken by the main authorities, starting with the European Union. Therefore, a decrease can also be expected, but unfortunately, nothing can be said for sure.

I am introducing a bill aimed at reducing gasoline taxes in the face of record high fuel prices and taxing oil company dividends.
