A third week below 1.70 euros per liter. According to the latest figures published this Monday by the Ministry of Ecological Transition, a liter of diesel was sold on average last week for 1.6738 euros in France. This price fell 2.2 cents per liter compared to the previous week.
Three weeks below 1.70 euros per liter
This is the third consecutive week that diesel remains below 1.70 euros per liter. At 1.6738 euros, a liter of diesel finds a price that this fuel has not seen since last summer, on July 7, 2023 precisely. The liter of diesel then dropped to 1.6658 euros.
Without reaching these levels, the price of a liter of unleaded gasoline 95-E10 also drops: it was sold on average for 1.8078 euros, or 2.6 cents less than the previous week.
Almost 12 cents less since mid-April
This downward trend has been maintained for several weeks, specifically since mid-April. Diesel has lost almost 12 cents since April 12, when it reached 1.7907 euros. Gasoline has registered a drop of almost 10 cents since April 19.
Fuel prices at the pump depend on many factors, including global economic activity, but also periods of major travel, such as the famous “driving season”, the summer period in the United States. Also according to figures from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, the price of a barrel fell (-4 dollars) last week.
