The French are punished by supply interruptions at service stations.
Therefore, the Government continues the discount of 30 centimes/l at gas stations until mid-November.@TotalEnergies also extends its discount of 20 centimes/l for the same period. pic.twitter.com/u7EdYWGliB

The French have been complaining about fuel prices for many years. And it is not for nothing that it continues to grow over time, reaching its peak at the beginning of the year, when the average price exceeds two euros per liter. It is about the war in Ukraine and, in particular, about the increase in the price of a barrel of oil, which broke its record of 140 dollars. Things have improved a bit since then, but gas prices are still quite high. Especially since the government canceled the discount of 30 cents, which was then reduced to only 10 cents. But if fuel it’s expensive, it’s also because of taxation.
I am introducing a bill aimed at reducing gasoline taxes in the face of record high fuel prices and taxing oil company dividends.

Surcharge
Indeed, you should know that we currently pay three taxes on fuel: VAT, TICPE (Tax on domestic energy consumption) and VAT on TICPE. Did you say absurd? In general, taxes make up at least 60% of the price of a liter of gasoline and diesel, which explains the high prices at service stations. And it won’t get better. Because if the government refuses to reduce taxes, then this is also a new tax that is about to see the world. This time it comes from the European Union, which will introduce this new taxation from 2027. Goal? Discourage motorists from using your thermal car.

Unknown amount
So far, the exact amount has not been named, because its implementation will not be carried out immediately. There are even rumors that it will be postponed for a year. However, the European Commission specifies that the tax will be limited until 2030, without providing further details. Then the income must be estimated at more than 87 billion euros and will be transferred to a “social climate fund” to support the ecological transition…
