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

As you know, E85 superethanol is increasingly popular among motorists. And, to be honest, there is nothing particularly surprising in this, because this fuel has a lot of advantages. It is much cheaper at the gas station, and the price per liter is still less than one euro, despite rising prices and inflation. But that’s not all, because E85 is also more environmentally friendly and, above all, it comes from French agriculture. In short, there are so many good reasons to choose this fuel, which is becoming more and more popular in this period of skyrocketing gas prices. But for complete driving safety, it is necessary to install a specific case in your vehicle, which allows you to protect the mechanics to avoid worries.

A high number
This installation costs between 700 and 1600 euros depending on the car and its engine. But it does happen that some agencies offer assistance to help motorists convert their car to make it compatible with superethanol. In any case, despite the relatively high price of the operation, boxes are growing. According to a recent study conducted by Bioethanol Collective, at least 70% of vehicles in circulation are already equipped with it. A very large number, much more than we could have expected. In most cases, the impetus for starting work was the increase in fuel prices, as well as the desire to drive on more environmentally friendly fuel.

Great savings
However, according to the study, the majority of respondents estimate the savings obtained with this box at more than 600 per year. This number should be revised upwards as this survey was conducted when the price of fuel was slightly lower than today. But while“E85 is a big success, the government will now consider taxing it more heavily to compensate for the losses. Indeed, taxes on this fuel are currently very low, but that may change soon…
According to a recent IFPEN study, a hybrid car that runs on E85 superethanol pollutes less than a 100% electric model. https://t.co/qkwv7WpVY0
