The evolution of fuel prices in France: a growing concern for motorists
Fuel prices in France are a growing concern for many motorists, affecting not only personal budgets but also key sectors such as transport and logistics. Through this article, we will examine the current prices of the main fuels on the market, namely Unleaded 98 (E5), Unleaded 95 (E5), Unleaded 95 (E10), BioEthanol E85, Diesel ( B7) and LPG, while analyzing their recent and long-term evolution.
Current prices of different fuels
- Lead Free 98 (E5) :
- Current price : 1,828 €/l
-
The price of this fuel increased slightly by 0.8 cents/l (+0.40%) over the past week, indicating some instability in the market in the short term. However, over one month, the price fell by 0.9 cents/l (-0.50%), and over a full year, the reduction is even more marked with a drop of 8.5 cents/l (-4 .40%).
- Lead Free 95 (E5) :
- Current price : 1,751 €/l
-
This fuel saw a minimal weekly variation, with an increase of 0.4 cents/l (+0.20%). Yet, over a larger temporal sample, there was a slight one-month decline of 1.6 cents/l (-0.90%) and annually a significant reduction of 10.1 cents/l (-5. 50%).
- Lead Free 95 (E10) :
- Current price : 1,723 €/l
-
A similar trend is noted with an increase of 0.6 cents/l (+0.30%) this week, but over the month the price fell by 1.2 cents/l (-0.70%) and over the month year of 11.1 cents/l (-6.10%).
- BioEthanol E85 :
- Current price : 0,808 €/l
-
This fuel remained relatively stable over the week, but had a very slight increase of 0.1 cents/l (+0.10%) over the month. However, the year witnessed an impressive reduction with a drop of 21.5 cents/l (-21.00%), making BioEthanol E85 an economically attractive option.
- Diesel (B7) :
- Current price : 1,644 €/l
-
Diesel saw a greater increase of 1.3 cents/l (+0.80%) over the week. Over the month, there was a small reduction of 0.6 cents/l (-0.40%) and, over the year, a sharp decrease of 17.3 cents/l (-9.50%).
- GPL :
- Current price : 1,007 €/l
- Unlike other fuels, LPG experienced an increase both over the week (+0.8 cents/l, +0.80%), and the month (+0.6 cents/l, +0.60%) and the year (+1.3 cents/l, +1.30%). This reflects a continued slight upward trend for LPG.
Conclusion
The analysis of fuel prices in France reveals complex and divergent trends depending on the type of fuel. Weekly price fluctuations are relatively modest except for Diesel B7, which has seen a more pronounced increase recently. Over the long term, however, all fuels examined (with the exception of LPG) show price reductions, notably for BioEthanol E85 and Diesel B7, which saw the most considerable reductions. This trend can be explained by various global economic factors, technological innovations, and potentially a seasonal shift in demand or policies supporting the energy transition.
For French motorists, carefully following these developments is crucial to adapt their consumption habits and consider economical alternatives but also ecological in certain cases such as BioEthanol E85. The situation remains dynamic and requires continued attention to make informed decisions for both day-to-day and long-term purposes, while potentially preparing for instability that may be caused by changes in energy policies or future economic crises.
