This has not escaped your attention. Prices are indicated on gas station totems is more and more ubiquitous. Realize: 1.90 euros on average per liter diesel fuel, 1.86 euros liter SP95-E10. Prices are mostly going up, which made you change your mind. All with the aim of reducing the bill as much as possible when going to the gas station.

Thus, Auto Plus united several testimonies internet users and readers who try to resist rising fuel prices.

Switch to E85

The first solution: use a different fuel. This is the case Dominic, 58 years old, originally from the south of France. This motorist has sworn for a little more than ten years bioethanol. He says: ” I have been using E85 since 2010. At the beginning, in Argelès-sur-Mer (66), there was only one station that sold it, and not many around. I started with a Jeep Grand Cherokee V8. »

Subsequently installed by Dominik E85 housings on all the following vehicles: ” 13 years later, I’m still driving E85 despite the skyrocketing price. »

However, the price per liter has been overestimated upwards: On average, 1,019 euros per liter Today. Far from last year’s average of 2022 79 cents. Or even for 2021 67 cents per liter.

Still on the hunt for this eco-friendly fuel? In reality, E85 remains interesting at the gas station. And this despite excessive fuel consumption by 25-30% compared to traditional unleaded gasoline. A motorist driving 12,000 km per year with a consumption of 7 l/100 km makes a €1,000 box (observed average) profitable in a little over two years. Better yet, it saves money
about 450 euros per year

A small reminder in passing. It is important – if not mandatory – to install approved boxes if you also want to switch to E85.

Car sharing

If you don’t mind a little company during your daily travels, car sharing turns out to be an interesting alternative.

Anyway, that’s what we’re reporting Alexis : ” During my studies in Brittany, I drove. My studies took place in Brittany. My work and study program in the Paris region. To drive the 400 km that separates these two regions, I suggested routes in an app I found 3 years ago. »

Today, the latter continues this practice: ” I did Paris-Montpellier. I offered my route on the app, which cost me about 40 euros for travel and 100 euros for fuel (petrol). In total, I had 3 carpoolers on the route. My total compensation is €84, more than half of the journey… »

Outside potential savingscar sharing also has a choice argument: take future reserve lanes on main roads near urban areas. Ideal for reducing travel time, for example during rush hour.
