Since the beginning of summer, fuel prices have risen sharply throughout France. If the latter has fallen sharply everywhere in the rest of Europe, our country is one of the worst and continues to suffer from gasoline and diesel inflation. The reason for this, according to some, is the inflated margins of distributors, while it should also be remembered that fuel taxes amount to at least 60% of the total amount per liter. Which is very high, especially since VAT is indexed to the price of the latter. Suffice it to say that gas station is not just a walk.

Business transaction
Fortunately, some brands decided to make a small gesture for motorists and help them during this difficult period. This is, for example, the case of TotalEnergies, which limits the price of gasoline and diesel at 1.99 euros until the end of the year, as well as Casino with its fuel at 1 euro. We also think about Leclerc, which resumed production of fuel at cost at the beginning of the summer. Every weekend, from Friday to Sunday, the brand continues this promotional offer for all its customers. And this is the last weekend to enjoy it!
How to make ?
But how to benefit from this interesting promotion in this period of crisis? In fact, you don’t have to do anything special! Indeed, the discount is already deducted from the price indicated on the totems, and you just have to top up as usual. Then you can take advantage of a discount of several centimes per liter, which actually corresponds markup made by the distributor. The latter agrees not to transfer it to cash in order to reduce the price indicated at the gas station.
