A few weeks ago, the 30-cent fuel discount expired. It was launched on September 1 and was supposed to end on October 31, before being extended for two weeks to November 15. It is said that a strike at oil refineries has caused a severe shortage of fuel, which has prevented motorists from taking advantage of the stimulus from the government. Today, the latter is reduced to just 10 cents, which is identical to the discount offered at all service stations. TotalEnergies in France. Inevitably, we should have expected a sharp rise as the discount fell…

Price drop
And contrary to all expectations, finally it is far from the case. Sure, the prices went up a bit in the days after the 30 cent discount ended, but now they’ve come down.

Indeed, unleaded 95 E10 is currently trading at €1.6951 per litre, down 2.01 cents from the previous week. For his part, in unleaded standard 95 exchanged for 1.7336 euros per liter, down 2.29 cents. Diesel fuel is still the most expensive, at €1.8202 per litre, down 4.09 cents.

Discounts will end soon
Suffice it to say that this drop should please motorists, especially since fuel has returned in price even before the end of the 30-cent discount. This is very good news for drivers, who, however, should hurry to take advantage of the 10-cent discount. Indeed, it expires on December 31st and should be replaced by a assistance is intended for large riders only. The government is expected to announce a few more details in the coming weeks.
The French are punished by supply interruptions at service stations.
