With winter in full swing, the price of domestic fuel oil, essential for many households, is starting to rise again. Consumers are seeing notable differences across regions and sales platforms, reflecting complex dynamics in a market influenced by many factors.
This Friday, January 10, ordinary fuel oil is priced at 1.151 euros per liter, according to the specialized site Prixfioul.fr. As for premium fuel oil, it is sold on average at 1.170 euros per liter. For both ordinary and superior domestic fuel oil, the prices displayed by this platform are up two euros per 1,000 liters compared to those recorded the day before.
For its part, the Fioulreduc site displays an average price of 1.143 euros per liter. According to this online comparator also, today’s rate is up by around one euro per 1,000 liters compared to the price recorded during the day on Thursday. Finally, on the Fioulmarket site, fuel oil is sold for 1,151 euros on average for a purchase of 1,000 liters. On this specialized platform, on the other hand, today’s price is exactly the same as those observed since the start of the week.
Where to find the cheapest domestic fuel oil in France this Friday?
According to the specialized platform Fioulreduc, which compares the prices of domestic fuel oil between regions, it is still in Franche-Comté that we find the lowest price in France this Friday, with 1,114 euros on average for a purchase of 1000 liters. Conversely, it is in Champagne-Ardenne that the price is the highest in France, with 1,175 euros for an order of 1000 liters. Thus, the difference in prices between Franche-Comté and Champagne-Ardenne amounts to 61 euros for an order of 1000 liters.
The new rise in the price of domestic fuel represents an additional hardship for households, already facing widespread inflation. This increase translates into increased pressure on consumers’ budgets, particularly in winter when heating is an essential expense. This situation risks worsening inequalities, hitting households with modest incomes who rely heavily on fuel oil for heating harder.
-A rise in domestic fuel prices caused by the surge in black gold levels
This surge in prices is directly linked to the rise in oil prices on international markets. According to data from Prixdubaril, the two main oil indices are showing clear progress. North Sea Brent, used as a global benchmark, reached $77.58 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the main US indicator, stood at $74.56 per barrel. This tension on prices is explained by a tightening of supply and a demand which remains sustained, fueling an upward dynamic which has direct repercussions on the cost of domestic fuel oil.
