It’s been a few days since fuel discounts ended forever. So, since January 1, the government has taken no action on petrol and diesel after raising prices by 18 cents, then 30 and finally 10. Help is welcome for motorists who have been hit hard since the start of the year fuel price increase. And that, unfortunately, shouldn’t get any better, while gas prices tend to rise again. And this after several weeks of decline in a row.
⚠ Fuel transfer – beware of poisoning ⚠
In conditions of fuel shortage, the number of poisonings due to siphons increased 5 times.

To a new commercial transaction?
A few weeks ago, Michel-Edouard Leclerc, the boss of the eponymous retail chain, said he was ready to make a gesture for motorists. Then he claimed that ” yes, we can make a move, but I don’t know the rules of the game yet […] I’m not going to announce (what I’m going to do) to my competitor because In total it is my supplier, but also my competitor“. Then we could expect a return fuel at cost, an operation that was highly appreciated by the brand and its customers. But since then there has been radio silence from the leader. The latter, however, made news a few days ago, in the microphone of RTL.
Not now
And it dashed the hopes of motorists, confirming that at the moment he could not establish increase for their customers. We are talking about the increase in the price of fuel, which also affects distributors. Indeed, Michel-Edouard Leclerc explains that “ today we are obliged to supply ourselves without Russian fuel, without Russian diesel […] We still do not see the effect (on the price, ed.) of the fuel we buy. About two or three months ago“. But this one is more expensive than the usual one, which is noticeable when pumping.
The French are punished by supply interruptions at service stations.
Therefore, 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
