The French are punished by supply interruptions at service stations.
Thus, 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

Since the beginning of the year, and even a little earlier, fuel prices have been particularly high. In particular, the war in Ukraine is to blame, which led to a sharp increase in the price of a barrel of oil, which directly affected the amount that motorists pay at the gas station. But we must also take into account penal taxation, when the taxes are not less than 60% of the price per liter. However, if the situation was very difficult a few months ago, it has improved significantly, and gasoline has fallen below the two-euro mark.

Almost at the end
The government also decided to make a small gesture for motorists by establishing a discount. It was originally 18 cents, but was later increased to 30 cents between September and November. Extended for two weeks due to fuel shortages, it finally ended, replaced by a small discount of 10 cents. Help is also offered TotalEnergies at all its service stations. But be careful because this one will end soon! Indeed, next December 31 will be the last day during which you can take advantage of this discount at all stations in France. Because it will end on January 1.

New help
Therefore, you need to hurry, but watch out for the crowd at the gas station on the last day, as it was after the end of the 30-cent discount. Later next year, the government will introduce a new benefit targeting only the most modest workers who need a car to get to work every day. Then it will be of the form a compensation of 100 € which will be distributed to all at once to those who ask for it.
I am introducing a bill aimed at reducing gasoline taxes in the face of record high fuel prices and taxing oil company dividends.
