The fuel allowance has not fully satisfied its audience yet. This device has been in force since the beginning of the year to succeed the Government bonus, the price of which had gone from 18 to 30 cents per liter of fuel at the beginning of the school year to end the year 2022 to 10 cents. If these fuel discounts were aimed at all motorists, now the Government wants to target the most modest who need their car to go to work by paying a check for 100 euros.
Designed according to income criteria, the fuel subsidy will benefit 10 million motorists who can apply for it from January 16 to February 28. But as the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion stated during the day’s session in the National Assembly in the midst of a parliamentary debate on the pension reform, there are still too many who have not made their petition online while They have made the first payments. been in the place for ten days.
“More than one in two French people who can benefit from this check have not yet requested it and this is a strong measure in favor of great cyclists and the most modest families,” said Christophe Béchu.
Diesel goes below gasoline
However, it is a valuable help since inflation remains at a high level at the beginning of the year and fuel prices return to heading towards the symbolic threshold of 2 euros per liter after the end of the bonuses. Over the past week, diesel prices fell below gasoline prices for the first time since June 10. The super SP95-E10 thus shows an average price of 1.8996 euros per liter, with a weekly drop of 1.1 cents per liter, while diesel reaches a maximum of 1.8873 euros per liter after a more significant reduction of 5.6 cents per liter in a week.
Therefore, the upward trend in fuel prices towards the 2 euro per liter mark is slowing down, but should be exceeded in the coming weeks. In fact, the recent introduction of the European embargo on Russian oil products should eventually drive up prices, particularly diesel.
