Prices with a downward trend since the end of January
As can be seen in the following historical curve, fuel prices have shown a downward trend since the end of January, after the rise at the beginning of the year linked to the end of the State and Totalenergies rebates.
Despite a relatively low price per barrel for crude oil, with Brent still down $3.2 to $81.7 last week, concerns remain, especially against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine.
Fears that led Totalenergies to announce the cap on the price of fuel at its stations at 1.99 euros per liter from March 1, and from February 25 on highways, and until the end of the year. An effort estimated at 600 million euros by the management of the French oil company.
