For some time, times have been particularly difficult for French motorists. In fact, it has been almost two years since the price of fuel has increased sharply, in particular due to the war in Ukraine, which is still in full swing, and Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Not to mention the drop in oil production, which raises the price per barrel and therefore the price shown at the pump for customers. And that’s even though we’ve seen a very slight decline over the past few weeks. Which is not enough for the French to live comfortably.

Extended check

Especially if the distributors offer commercial offers Most of them are currently expected to be completed next year. Which will inevitably increase prices for customers even more. And the government continues to refuse to reduce taxes, even though taxes make up 60% of the price of a liter of fuel. However, the state still wants to make a small gesture for the most humble drivers. Thus, the latter will receive a fuel check for 100 euros, provided that the income conditions are met.

60% of workers

And the good news is, the latter will finally be expanded and will actually apply at least 60% of employees, compared to 50% before, or a total of 1.6 million people. Olivier Veran, the government spokesman also reminds that ” this €100 check is a valuable help for French people who have to drive to work and will also be useful for the middle class“. It will be paid in a one-time bank transfer next year.
