Vacationers taking their car can blow.
Last week, prices at the pump fell again, for the second time in a row, according to data from the Ministry of Energy Transition published on Monday.
What lighten the bill a little, while the labels had flamed during the strike affecting refineries and oil depots.
In detail, on Friday, a liter of diesel cost, on average, 1.8678 euros, down 3.8 cents over seven days.
Same observation for gasoline, which lost some 2.7 cents: the liter of SP95-E10 was displayed at 1.6048 euro, that of SP95 at 1.6726 euro and that of SP98 at 1.7044 euro, always according to government data.
In fifteen days, after several weeks of increase, the cost of a liter of fuel has therefore evolved significantly downwards.
Current prices, however, remain much higher than in mid-September, around twenty cents per liter for diesel, and ten for SP95-E10.
On the markets, the price of the raw material has however appreciated: the barrel of Brent took a few dollars last week, going from 93 dollars to 96 dollars, from one Friday to another.
Since then, the barrel has seen its price drop to 94.6 dollars on Monday.
However, motorists must be prepared for a major price hike in the days to come: the rebates per liter granted by the government, on the one hand, and by TotalEnergies, on the other, will indeed decrease from mid -november.
Enough to boost the average price, around thirty cents between November 11 and 18.
The liter of diesel would then reach peaks, and would thus fall back well above the highly symbolic bar of two euros.

So far, the executive has refused to extend its rebate.
Unless a particularly explosive situation, which would combine high oil prices and social tensions, make him change his mind.
