The French are punished by supply interruptions at service stations.

Thus, the government continues the discount of 30 centimes/l at gas stations until mid-November.@TotalEnergies also extends its discount of 20 centimes/l for the same period. pic.twitter.com/u7EdYWGliB

October was especially difficult for everyone. And especially for motorists. Indeed, the latter were the first to suffer from fuel shortages caused by strikes at many bases and oil refineries in the country. The employees really demanded a 10% increase in wages and had serious confrontations with the management. An agreement seems to have already been reached, and traffic has stopped almost everywhere. In addition to Freyzinsky Oil Refinery, south of Lyon, where workers are also asking to hire four temporary workers on permanent contracts. In any case, if things are starting to pick up little by little, the last few weeks have been very difficult. In addition, a sharp increase in prices.

To avoid overstocking stress:
➡️from 11.10 to 7.00 and until 21.10, the sale and purchase of fuel in manually moved containers is prohibited.

Strong increase

Indeed, the price of fuel has risen sharply in recent weeks. The increase to which we owe, in particular, the strike, when the supply was very low, and the demand literally exploded. As a result, diesel fuel rose in price by 14 cents from October 1 to October 31, from 1.71 to 1.85 euros on average. All this taking into account the government discount of 30 cents, that is, the “real” price of 2.15 euros per liter. For its part, unleaded 95 gasoline rose in price by 10 cents (from 1.57 to 1.67 euros), while SP95-E10 rose by only 5 cents, i.e. from 1.53 to 1.58 euros a liter from the beginning of end of the month L’E85 also affected: 13 cents in one month per litre, which now shows at €0.81 vs €0.68.

Closer to the end of the discount

Currently the price of fuel remains relatively stable. We are talking about a discount of 30 cents, which was finally extended until November 15. It’s the same at TotalEnergies, as the 20 cent discount is valid until the middle of the month. Be careful, because after that date the price will drop to 10 cents, which will inevitably lead to an increase in the price per liter. And there is no doubt that this indicator should remain very high. Now let’s hope that the amounts will decrease a little, but nothing is less certain…

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