New increase in fuel prices. Last week, diesel priced an average of 1,941 euros per liter, 1.2 cents more, according to the weekly report of the Ministry of Ecological Transition, with prices as of Friday, September 22.
Unleaded gasoline 95-E10 registered a more contained increase, +0.5 euro cents compared to the previous week, with an average price at the pump of 1.9443 euros per liter.
Near record prices of the year
Therefore, both fuels are now near their highest level on record in this government reading.
In the case of diesel, we have to go back to January 27 to find this fuel at a higher price, which at the time stood on average at 1.9432 euros per liter, only 0.22 cents difference from the current price .
The most consumed gasoline in France is also very close: only 0.15 cents from its maximum recorded on April 14, at 1.9458 euros per liter.
A barrel price that continues to rise
The main explanation for this increase in prices at the pump: the increase in the price of crude oil. Last week, a barrel of North Sea Brent gained another $2.1 to $95.2.
Faced with these high prices, Emmanuel Macron announced yesterday the return of a fuel check for the most modest French.
However, few effects can be expected from fuel sales at cost price, with a reduction that would be of the order of only 1 euro cent, according to the president of the French Union of Petroleum Industries (Ufip energies and mobilities), Oliver. Gantois.
