It’s been a few weeks since all gas stations ran out of 10-cent discounts. It will be recalled that previously this small discount could be used at all service stations in France, although its size was revised downwards after reaching a peak of 30 cents. Help for motorists is welcome, although fuel prices are still very high. And it should not improve, in particular throughEuropean embargo on Russian oil. If there is no shortage expected, it is quite possible that prices will rise.

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

New discount?

The situation is intolerable for the boss of TotalEnergies, who, in particular, condemns the taxation introduced by the government, which multiplies taxes. We remind you what they represent now 60% of the price per liter fuel. So, the latter recently confirmed the desire to establish a new discount for motorists if the price at gas stations exceeds the two-euro mark. And its arrival seems closer than ever. Indeed, the leader is now in discussions with the government and things seem to be moving in the right direction. Olivier Veran indeed states that “ believe me, this is a discussion with them [TotalEnergies]“.

In the next few days

At the moment, we still know very little about this new aid, which may be announced in the coming days. And for good reason, the winter holidays will soon begin, and then it will be a good time to create a little help. All the more so fares has also skyrocketed, discouraging many motorists from going green during the holidays.
