In France, fuel prices are attracting more and more interest among motorists, especially in the current economic context where optimization of expenses is crucial. In this article, we will take a close look at the prices of the different types of fuels commonly used by French motorists, with the exception of SP98-E10 and CNG. We will analyze their development over key time periods such as a week, a month, and a year, to give a better perspective on price trends and what consumers can expect in the near future.
Lead Free 98 (E5)
The price of Unleaded 98 (E5) is currently €1.839 per liter. This rate saw a slight decrease of 0.3 cents compared to last week, which represents a decrease of 0.20%. Over one month, the price fell by 1.3 cents, a decrease of 0.70%. More significantly, over the past year, the price has seen a drop of 4.4 cents, or a decrease of 2.30%. This long-term decline can be attributed to several factors, including fluctuating crude oil prices, tax adjustments, and variations in demand.
Lead Free 95 (E5)
Unleaded 95 (E5) is currently €1.758 per liter. A more pronounced variation over one week is noted with a drop of 1.6 cents, or 0.90%. Over one month, however, the price increased slightly by 0.2 cents, or 0.10%. Annually, the price fell by 3.7 cents, a decrease of 2.10%. These modest upward and downward variations over shorter periods of time may reflect market fluctuations and seasonal factors.
Lead Free 95 (E10)
Unleaded 95 (E10), sold at €1.735 per liter, saw its price drop by 0.5 cents (0.30%) in one week. Over the last month, we see a decrease of 1 cent, corresponding to a drop of 0.60%. Over an entire year, this fuel saw a substantial reduction of 6.3 cents, or a drop of 3.50%. E10, containing more bioethanol, sometimes benefits from slightly different production and taxation conditions, which has an impact on the price.
BioEthanol E85
BioEthanol E85 is widely recognized for its low price, currently set at €0.800 per liter. Over one week, its cost fell by 0.5 cents, or 0.60%. A decline of 0.8 cents (-1.00%) was observed this last month. Over a full year, BioEthanol saw a dramatic reduction of 21.4 cents, corresponding to a marked drop of 21.10%. This makes E85 particularly attractive to some motorists, although its use requires suitable vehicles.
Diesel (B7)
Diesel (B7) remains a popular choice despite environmental debates. Its current price of €1.669 per liter shows a slight decrease of 0.1 cent in one week (0.10%). This last month saw a drop of 1.5 cents, or 0.90%, and a significant annual decline of 11.5 cents, calculated at 6.40%. These decreases in the price of diesel may reflect fluctuating global and domestic demand and various regulatory adjustments in taxation.
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
Finally, LPG has a price of €1.004 per liter. Unlike other fuels, the price of LPG increased slightly, with an increase of 0.1 cent (+0.10%) this week. Over one month, the price experienced an even more notable increase of 0.9 cents (+0.90%) and, over a year, it increased by 1.5 cents, or 1.50%. Benefiting from more favorable taxation due to its lower environmental impact, LPG remains financially attractive for users.
Conclusion
By observing these trends, it is obvious that fuel prices in France experience varied fluctuations depending on the type of fuel. Although at first glance these variations may seem small,
