Although fuel was very expensive at the beginning of last year and in the summer, the situation improved noticeably in September. It is quite logical, while the government has established a discount of 30 centimes, which is valid for gasoline and diesel. A nice discount that ended on November 16 has been replaced by a 10 cents off only. Then he disappeared on January 1. However, after 30 cents, the prices remained quite reasonable, even dropping a bit. But now everything has changed somewhat, and not necessarily for the better.

Sharp rise

Indeed, in a few days, the prices of gasoline and diesel fuel at many gas stations once again exceeded the two-euro mark. A situation that has become rare in recent months, to the delight of motorists. But after the end of the discount, everything is a little different. But according to Michel-Edouard Leclerc, head of stores of the same name, the termination of aid is not the only reason for the price increase. asked grand jury of RTL, Le Figaro, LCIhe claims that ” something happened within three months: with all fuel importers and any types of fuel, today we are obliged to supply ourselves without Russian fuel, without Russian diesel“.

A little help

And unfortunately, further growth is to be expected as he explains that “we don’t yet see the impact on the fuel we buy. There is about a two to three month delay“. Fortunately, some low-income workers will be able to benefit from a small allowance of €100 that can be claimed from January 16. This will be paid in one lump sum and may be shared between several members of the same family.

I am introducing a bill aimed at reducing gasoline taxes in the face of record high fuel prices and taxing oil company dividends.
