Since the start of the week, domestic fuel oil prices in France have shown remarkable consistency. This trend is confirmed on Tuesday, December 3, offering consumers a interesting buying opportunity before a possible winter increase.
According to data provided by different specialized platforms:
- Prixfioul.fr announces a price of €1.119 per liter for ordinary fuel oil
- Superior fuel oil is offered at €1.138 per liter on average
- Fioulreduc displays an average price of €1,110 per liter
- On Fioulmarket, the price is €1.118 for 1000 liters
These figures demonstrate a price stability observed for several days. For consumers, this is the ideal time to fill their fuel tank now, thus taking advantage of advantageous prices before a possible price spike.
Regional disparities: where to find the cheapest fuel oil?
Domestic fuel prices vary significantly from one region to another. According to the comparisons carried out by Fioulreduc.fr, Franche-Comté stands out as the most advantageous region, with an average price of €1,070 for 1000 liters. In contrast, Auvergne displays the highest prices, reaching €1,136 for the same quantity.
This regional disparity results in a significant difference of €66 for an order of 1000 liters between these two extremes. It is therefore wise for consumers to compare offers and to take their geographical location into account before placing an order.
| Region | Price for 1000 liters |
|---|---|
| Franche-Comté | 1 070 € |
| Auvergne | 1 136 € |
Influence of oil markets on fuel prices
The current stability of domestic fuel prices is largely explained by the situation on oil markets. Indeed, black gold prices have remained at constant levels for several days, directly impacting the fuel oil market in France.
According to data from the Prixdubaril website:
- North Sea Brent is quoted at $72.34
- West Texas Intermediate (WTI) trades at $68.58 per barrel
These values, similar to those observed recently, explain the stability of domestic fuel prices. However, it is important to note that this situation could change quickly in the event of major geopolitical or economic events influencing oil prices.
Insights and recommendations for consumers
Faced with this price stability, consumers naturally wonder what strategy to adopt. Here are some recommendations:
- Monitor prices regularly : Fuel oil prices can change quickly. It is advisable to carefully monitor domestic fuel price trends.
- Compare offers : Use online comparators to find the best deals in your area.
- Take advantage of periods of stability: If your tank is not full, it may be time to fill it.
- Anticipate winter needs: Prices could increase with the arrival of cold weather.
It is also wise to regularly find out about price developments at the start of the week, because this is often when trends are taking shape for the days to come.
In short, although domestic fuel prices remain stable for the moment, caution and vigilance remain essential. Savvy consumers will be able to take advantage of this period to optimize their purchases and prepare for the winter season with peace of mind.
