Will fuel prices start to rise again?
With this drop in fuel prices, motorists do not hide their relief. “ Per month, it takes around 150 to 200 euros. It’s still felt because we’re driving, seemingly nothing. We need our cars », Explained a motorist to TF1. “ It costs me 20,000 to 25,000 euros per year », Also said a professional who uses nine vehicles for his business.
However, we must remain vigilant regarding the evolution of gasoline and diesel prices, as they could quickly start to rise again. Because, ” every year, in good weather, it’s the period when everyone takes out their car, drives a lot and, in fact, consumes a lot. This increase in demand should push products upwards. », Salomé Ruel, professor of logistics management, told TF1.
