It’s been a few weeks since the shortages calmed down and the strike action at TotalEnergies warehouses and refineries ended. Very good news for motorists, after almost a month of serious difficulties, when almost all service stations were closed, queues sometimes lasted an hour or two. Fortunately, the situation has improved considerably and most pumps are now operational, although in some areas, e.g“Ile-de-France still live. Indeed, it always takes time before the situation normalizes, while specialists say 10-20 days on average, depending on the degree of mobilization of the strikers.
Because of the 30-cent discount on fuel, there are shortages at many service stations. https://t.co/SzgziQKxfm

Still a rare SP98
But while motorists can now find almost all types of fuel, one is often in short supply. This is an unleaded 98 which is still very rare at most service stations. But then how to explain this phenomenon? Are customers flocking to it? And quite rightly, no, on the contrary. Because it is unleaded 95 E10 that enjoys the greatest success among drivers. That is why it is produced in priority oil refineriesto the detriment of 98. Indeed, according to the Capital website, 95 E10 makes up 51.3% of fuel sold, compared to only 22.9% for unleaded 98.
.
What is the solution?
But what if your car runs on 98 and you can’t find any? If it was produced after 2000, there is a very good chance that it will be compatible with does not contain lead 95 E10. That way, you can wear them temporarily without any problems. On the other hand, if you have a classic car, this is not recommended. Then it makes more sense to put a regular 95, even if it is best to find a 98 that will best preserve the mechanics of your car.
The used car market in the United States is booming.
During the epidemic, many people want to have a cheap car to avoid public transport.
Even if it means reselling when things get back to normal.
