While the twilight of refunds is fast approaching the end of the year, the signals at the pump have been mixed in recent days. Firstly, Brent seems to be ending its slide that began in mid-November and was almost stable between December 9 and 16 with a drop of only 6 cents per barrel and a global price per barrel. $80 Last week, its weekly drop was close to $4.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the price of a liter of diesel rose again last week. According to data from the Ministry of Ecology, they rose just over one cent in a week (1.1 cents to be exact) to reach 1,743 euros per liter on Friday, December 16, compared to 1,732 euros on Friday, December 9. In the first week of December, the liter of diesel had fallen by almost 9 cents.
The good news is rather on the side of the prices of the Super Unleaded95-E10 that continue their fall for the fourth consecutive week with a price per liter that points to 1,617 euros per liter. It should be noted, however, that this fall is lessening and goes from -5.5 cents between December 2 and 9 to -2.2 cents per liter in the last week.
The end of the sales is imminent
As a reminder, the government introduced a fuel discount in April before TotalEnergies joined at the start of the school year in September. The amount of these bonuses has varied over the months and has recently increased to 10 cents for each of them from mid-November until the end of 2022.
On January 1 these devices will end and give way to more specific measures as Matignon announced in October in the midst of the fuel crisis. So it will be a new fuel subsidy worth 100 euros to be paid to the poorest 10 million French people who need their car to get to work. Only two criteria will be taken into account to benefit from this strictly personal aid and not distributed within the framework of households: income and the fact of owning a car.
