Although the situation is much better at French service stations, except in some regions such as Ile-de-France or Normandy, another topic is also making headlines. 30 cents discount on fuel. Indeed, it was originally supposed to expire on November 1st, only to drop to 10 cents. The problem is that due to the fuel shortage, most motorists could not use it, and gasoline and diesel fuel were almost impossible to find throughout the country. But the government decided to do a small favor to drivers by extending the duration of this small incentive for two weeks. A gift that should please car enthusiasts.
Europe has agreed to phase out the use of heat engines by 2035. However, the fuel tax is an important source of revenue for the French state. https://t.co/M17WH4kOC3

New confirmation
Already formalized in a few days, the good news was once again confirmed by the government as well as the calendar. Interview during the show C à Vous, Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire claims that ” we have always said that we will phase out these fuel discounts. We extended for two weeks, until November 16 to be exact“. He continues “ine will be progressive because then the discount of 10 cents per liter plus the Total discount will remain“. For its part, TotalEnergies also decided to increase its discount by 20 cents.
.
End in January
On the other hand, it should not be expected that a extension of aid after January 1. The minister assures that: I have never hidden that on January 1, 2023, there will be no general fuel discount“. He goes on to argue that perpetuating this reminder would be ” irresponsible on climate and public finances“. Assistance for large motorcyclists is currently being considered.
Because of the 30-cent discount on fuel, there are shortages at many service stations. https://t.co/SzgziQKxfm
