It’s been about a year since the price of fuel has risen sharply. Because if the war in Ukraine did not help, and even worsened the situation, gasoline and diesel have already risen in price since the end of last year. Moreover, punitive taxation is also related to this. And it’s not going to get any better as the European Union wants to introduce an additional tax on fuel from 2027. Admittedly, prices fell slightly between September and November thanks to the 30p discount the government introduced. But that ended last month, replaced by a discount of just 10 cents.

To the new discount?

It will end on December 31 and will be replaced by an allowance intended only for the most modest who need a car to get to work. Which will then affect at least 10 million French people. But this is not enough for Michel-Edouard Leclerc, the head of my chain of stores of the same name. The latter really confirms to our colleagues at BFM TV what they think about the new gesture. ” May be. Yes, we can make a move, but I don’t know the rules of the game yet […] I will not announce (what I will do) to my competitor because Total is my supplier but also my competitor“.

.

Cost recovery

Then the leader could return to the place“fuel at cost” operation., which is always a great success among motorists. True, the discount is quite low, about one or two cents per liter, but it is still a price. Because during this operation, the brand simply reduces its margin, which is already quite low. Because you should know that the main part of the price per liter is taxes, about 60%.

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
