In recent months, a very difficult situation has developed for motorists, who were caught by the throat of the fuel price hike. A situation to which we owe, in particular, the war in Ukraine, but not only when the number of barrels of oil falls. Indeed, we are also talking about taxes, which make up 60% of the price of a liter. Indeed, there are three of them, namely VAT, TICPE, as well as tax on the latter. The situation, which was condemned, in particular, by the boss TotalEnergies, Patrick Poignant, who spoke a few days ago. But the leader also talked about the future of gas station prices.

But until it affects the prices of gasoline, we will have to be satisfiedcompensation of 100 € proposed by the government but which will soon be completed.
