Are the queues in front of petrol stations back?
Five months after the strikes in the French refineries, a new social conflict disrupts the supply at the pump.
In question: the paralysis of these same refineries by the CGT-Chemistry to oppose the pension reform.
In recent days, the various blockages have been lifted in refineries and depots in France.
However, the situation is struggling to return to normal because it takes time to restart production.
According to calculations made by
Fig Data
from public data
,
11.5% of service stations in the country did not have, this Tuesday at 1 p.m., either gasoline (SP98, SP95, E10) or diesel.
In total, 32 departments identify at least 10% of stations in total or partial rupture.
Like last October, the difficulties vary greatly depending on your department.
For several days, the Paris region has been the most affected area with nearly 38% of stations declaring a break.
In the Val-de-Marne, this figure is approaching 60%, including 48.2% partially broken and 9.6% totally dry.
Same thing in the capital, where 46.9% of pump attendants are "
in difficulty
".
A figure reaching 47.4% in the Hauts-de-Seine.
Outside the Ile-de-France region, Indre-et-Loire is also strongly affected with 42.9% of pumps with little or no supply, such as Eure-et-Loir (38%) and Cher (36.7%). ).

Loire-Atlantique, the territory most affected in the previous weeks, currently has 16.9% of its stations "
in difficulty
".
In the Bouches-du-Rhône, 10.7% of the pumps remain broken.
Both the southwest and the northeast quarter appear relatively spared.
Regarding Île-de-France, the strike at the TotalEnergies refinery in Gonfreville-l'Orcher (Seine-Maritime) was suspended on Tuesday.
At the national level, the strike was also interrupted on Friday at the TotalEnergies refinery in Donges (Loire-Atlantique).
The blockages of the biorefinery of La Mède (Bouches-du-Rhône) and the oil terminals of the Grand maritime port of Marseille-Fos had also been lifted the same day.

At the height of the mobilization, and before the first requisitions ordered by the government, no fuel left any of the six refineries in France to service stations across the country.
The SP98 returns above two euros
On the price side, the refinery blocking movement caused a slight jump.
Gasoline thus rose by two cents last week, with the liter of SP98 now stabilizing above two euros.
It is however ten cents more than at the beginning of the year, under the effect of the end of the rebates granted by the government and by TotalEnergies.
Diesel fuel cost an average of €1.83 per liter on Tuesday.
Faced with this increase, TotalEnergies “ temporarily
” extended
its price cap measure from last Friday to 1.99 euros per liter for all fuels (SP95, SP98, diesel, Excellium), the group announced on Thursday in a communicated.
Methodology:
For the national or regional figures, we used the public data available on prix-carburants.gouv.fr (annual files), which centralizes the declarative data of service stations.
Only service stations in mainland France that sell more than 500m3 of petroleum products per year are taken into account, excluding E85 and LPG, which are much less used.
We considered that a station usually distributes a fuel if it declares at least one shortage or a price variation in 2023 for this fuel.
Like the Ministry of Energy Transition, we have considered that a place of supply is not out of gasoline if it is still powered by at least one of the three types of this fuel: SP98, SP95 and E10.
A station is considered "
in difficulty
" if:
It is in total rupture at 1 p.m. on all of its fuels distributed (gasoline or diesel).
It is partially out of service at 1 p.m. – either of gasoline or diesel – when it usually distributes both.
