Fuel: thanks to rebates, prices at the pump drop sharply

It's been exactly a year since the price of gasoline has been at such a low level in France.

SP 95-E10 cost an average of 1.54 euros per liter last week in France, according to data published on Monday by the government.

Over a week the price fell by 20 cents.

Even if it also drops, diesel is still more expensive.

The best-selling fuel in France sold on average at 1.78 euros, or 17 cents less compared to the previous week.

In addition to the price of oil falling below the bar of 100 dollars per barrel, it is obviously the rebates put in place on Thursday, September 1st which allow motorists to smile again.

The aid granted by the government has increased from 18 to 30 centimes per liter and, in its approximately 3,500 stations, Total applies a two-month discount of 20 centimes.

Rush at Total stations

In all, a discount of 50 cents on the fuel sold by the French tanker.

A nice boost that explains the rush in Total stations for four days, to the point that some are out of stock.

This downward trend is expected to continue.

According to the site Carburants.org, gasoline costs on average this Monday 1.48 euro and diesel 1.72 euro.

But you won't have to get too used to these attractive prices, because the discounts are limited in time.

Whether that of the government or that of Total, they will drop to 10 cents in November and December, before disappearing in 2023.
