Fuel at cost price: the exceptional operation of this brand for Christmas

The Christmas holidays are approaching, and with them, the traditional family departures. This year, a major retailer has decided to play Santa Claus early. Intermarché is offering a one-two punch: fuel at cost for two days. An opportunity not to be missed for motorists looking for savings.

An operation that comes just in time for Christmas

While prices at the pump remain a hot topic, Intermarché is hitting hard with a unique offer to celebrate the holidays. On December 20 and 21, the brand will sell fuel at cost price at its stations attached to participating supermarkets. An approach which aims to reduce the cost of motorists when traveling for the festivities.

What does this initiative consist of? The fuel is sold without any profit margin for the brand. The price displayed only includes purchase costs, transport costs, VAT and oil taxes (which still represent 60% of the final price). Result: a few precious cents saved per liter, which can make a significant difference on a full tank.

Intermarché, alone on stage for this operation

In a context where prices are constantly fluctuating, Intermarché is the only major retail player to offer this initiative this weekend. Unlike TotalEnergies, which simply undertakes to cap its prices at €1.99/Lthe brand goes further with this ephemeral operation.

Currently, the average prices recorded in France hover around €1.71/L for SP95-E10 and €1.64/L for diesel. Thanks to this operation, motorists could well see these figures drop slightly, a real boost as the holidays approach.

Watch out for unforeseen events on the road

With the start of the school holidays, the roads look set to be busy. Bison Futé anticipates heavy traffic, and the weather could further complicate travel. Rain, snow and strong winds are expected in several regions, calling for increased vigilance for drivers.

If you plan to take advantage of the Intermarché offer, remember to check the opening hours of participating stores and consult the complete list of stations concerned. An economical fuel tank to leave with peace of mind, it’s the ideal gift to start the Christmas holidays.
