Fuel prices at the pump remain very high, while many French people take to the road to return from vacation or return to work. According to the latest figures published this Monday by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, and closed on Friday, August 18, the price of a liter of lead-free 95-E10 has risen for the sixth consecutive week.
Above 1.90 euros per liter
If the increase (+1.7 euro cents per liter) remains contained, it allows the unleaded 95-E10 to exceed the symbolic bar of 1.90 euros per liter throughout the territory: the SP95-E10 is sold on average last week at 1.9137 euros per liter. liter. An average that gasoline had not reached for 4 months and on April 21.
Good news this week: the price of diesel does not rise, it remains stable at 1.8336 euros per liter (-0.1 euro cents).
Rise in barrel prices
These high fuel prices have been a concern for motorists since July and especially ahead of the start of the school year when many motorists will use their vehicle daily to commute. These prices are explained by the rise in the price of a barrel, but also by a strong demand for fuel this summer with the holidays in many countries.
