The tension in the supply of fuel in no way justifies the jump in prices at some gas stations. We do not allow artificially inflated prices. I urged DGCCRF to act. Inspections take place in @hautsdefrance https://t.co/RXJWH912tA

Are we finally starting to see the end? It is quite possible. After nearly a month of strikes at TotalEnergies and Esso-ExxonMobil, the movement is slowly beginning to weaken. And this even if it seems that negotiations between the strikers and the management of both companies are still at an impasse. If CGT resumed the strike at two depots, others, as well as oil refineries, have already returned to work. It is enough to hope for a quick return to the normal state of service stations, many of which have been completely emptied for several weeks. But not everything has to be as empty as you think. We will explain everything to you!

Several days
If stocking finally begins to slowly recover, don’t expect an immediate return to normal. According to some specialists, it is really necessary to count between 15 and 20 days that everything would finally settle down. Indeed, it will take time to restock all the service stations, which are likely to be initially overwhelmed by an onslaught of motorists who have not had time to fill up their tank before. Moreover, the number of tankers is also limited, so it is impossible to supply them all at the same time. If permission for weekend delivery has been temporarily extended, it may also be revoked soon.

Improvement of the situation
But rest assured, it’s still much better than a week ago. Then about 38% of service stations were empty, compared to now barely 17%.. And it should continue to improve as the days go by. Therefore, there is no need to rush to the pump, especially if you have fuel left in the tank. In this way, you will avoid clogging the stations for nothing.
