Domestic fuel oil prices in France appear to have shown some stability in recent days, according to the main comparison platforms. However, this lull could quickly disappear in the face of rising global oil prices, a dynamic which could weigh heavily on household budgets.
This Monday, January 13, ordinary fuel oil is priced at 1.159 euros per liter, according to the specialized site Prixfioul.fr. As for premium fuel oil, it is sold on average at 1.178 euros per liter. For both ordinary and superior domestic fuel oil, the prices displayed by this platform are up by around one euro per 1,000 liters compared to those recorded at the end of last week.
For its part, the Fioulreduc site displays an average price of 1.155 euros per liter. According to this online comparator, on the other hand, today’s rate is exactly the same level as that recorded the day before. Finally, on the Fioulmarket site, fuel oil is sold for 1,159 euros on average for a purchase of 1,000 liters. Also on this specialized platform, the daily price is unchanged compared to that displayed during the day on Sunday.
Where to find the cheapest domestic fuel oil in France this Monday?
According to the specialized platform Fioulreduc, which compares the prices of domestic fuel oil between regions, it is in Lorraine that we find the lowest price in France this Monday, with 1,120 euros on average for a purchase of 1000 liters. Conversely, it is in Limousin that the price is the highest in France, with 1,191 euros for an order of 1000 liters. Thus, the difference in prices between Lorraine and Limousin is 71 euros per purchase of 1000 liters.
The current stability of domestic fuel oil prices in France may well not last, given the trends observed on international oil markets. According to Prixdubaril data, North Sea Brent, a global benchmark, reached $80.94 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the main US indicator, stood at $76.77 per barrel. . This gradual increase in the price of hydrocarbons can be explained by several factors, including increasing demand on Asian markets and production restrictions maintained by OPEC+.
-As usual, any increase in crude oil prices automatically leads to an increase in refining and distribution costs, which ultimately impact the end consumer. The recent global economic recovery and the anticipation of growing energy demand in the months to come are accentuating this pressure on prices. If domestic fuel oil prices remain stable for the moment thanks to available stocks and moderate consumption in winter, this situation could change quickly.
