Motorists on the road this weekend during the traditional crossover between July and August residents were able to benefit from lower prices at the pump.
A relief for the millions of French people on the road to vacation... or back to work.
According to the latest data published Monday morning by the Ministry of Ecological Transition, at the end of last week, a liter of diesel cost, on average, 1.8782 euros, down 5.6 cents over seven days.
All the main fuels have seen their prices fall, including gasoline: the SP95 has lost 7.9 cents, going to 1.8448 euros on average, and the SP95-E10 6.2 cents, being displayed at 1, 8082 euro.
Superethanol also saw its price drop, to 0.8086 euros, as did LPG, which fell to only 0.8566 euros.
Triggered in mid-June, the continuous decline in prices has enabled motorists to save several euros on a full tank, enough to relieve a portfolio already badly battered by the soaring prices affecting all areas.
In one month, the liter of SP95 has thus fallen by 24 cents, that of SP95-E10 by 22 cents and that of diesel by 18 cents.
Good momentum, which brings prices back to their May level.
