There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

Will the situation ever improve? If indeed there are a few small signs of calm, it’s still not rosy in France, far from it. Indeed, many departments, notably Haute-Saône and Ile-de-France, are still short of fuel, despite the start of normalization across the country. However, it will take another ten days for the situation to calm down, especially since some refineries have continued their strike. But that’s not all, because the price of fuel has also increased very sharply in recent months. And even if there is a slight lull now, it is still difficult to fill its tank. Unfortunately for the professionals.

The tension in the supply of fuel in no way justifies the jump in prices at some gas stations. We do not allow artificially inflated prices. I urged DGCCRF to act. Inspections take place in @hautsdefrance https://t.co/RXJWH912tA

To higher prices

So much so that some have to cut back on trips or adjust prices to keep making money. This is especially true of driving schools, which are forced to adapt. In the city of Alanson, for example, this was decidedraise prices hours of lessons to compensate for the increase in fuel, which amounts to several hundred euros in additional costs each month. The manager also noted that: already in January we were affected by the increase in the cost of fuel. It was difficult and we didn’t raise prices at first, but today it’s impossible“. Thus, from January 2023, the cost of lessons should increase by 1-2 euros.

.

The solution?

There is no doubt that this decision may also be adopted by other driving schools in France, while fuel prices may skyrocket. Indeed, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries has decided to cut production, which will obviously affect the amount paid at the pump. So much so that some professionals are even considering converting their fleet to 100% electric within the next few years. If driving schools ask for a tax exemption the government always refused fuel.

While the European Union banned the sale of internal combustion cars from 2035, France still practices “terminal hunting”. Educational review@oubertalli. #OnEstNotSortisDesRonces https://t.co/uT3qUEjNe6
