Analysis of Fuel Prices in France: A Complete Panorama for Motorists
French motorists are closely observing the evolution of fuel prices which has a considerable impact on their budget. Recent data indicates notable variations among the most used fuels in France. Let's take a detailed look at how prices behaved during the different periods examined: today, last week, last month and last year.
1. Lead Free 98 (E5)
Currently, the price of Unleaded 98 is €1.875/l. This fuel saw a notable increase of 2.6 cents per liter (+1.40%) in one week and 4.1 cents per liter (+2.20%) over the last month. On an annual scale, the increase is more modest, with only 0.4 cents per liter (+0.20%). These changes reflect possible tensions in oil markets or tax adjustments that may influence the final price at the pump.
2. Lead Free 95 (E5)
The price of Unleaded 95 is €1.785/l. This fuel also saw a recent increase of 1.8 cents per liter (+1.00%) this week and 3.0 cents per liter (+1.70%) over the last month. However, over the past year, a decrease of 1.8 cents per liter (-1.00%) was observed. This could suggest fluctuations due to factors like driving seasons, where demand varies, among other structural market causes.
3. Lead Free 95 (E10)
This fuel is priced at €1.766/l, showing an increase of 2.3 cents per liter (+1.30%) this week and 3.6 cents per liter (+2.10%) over the last month. However, since last year, the price has decreased by 1.4 cents per liter (-0.80%), reflecting variable market dynamics and user demand for this slightly less polluting mixture than its E5 counterpart. .
4. BioEthanol E85
BioEthanol E85 is at a very affordable price of €0.812/l, showing an increase this week of 1.0 cent per liter (+1.20%) and 0.2 cent per liter (+0.20%) in a month. Interestingly, a significant decrease of 12.4 cents per liter (-13.20%) compared to last year is noted, which can be attributed to increased production and policies promoting greener fuels.
5. Gasoline (B7)
With a current price of 1.702 €/l, Diesel has increased by 2.6 cents per liter (+1.60%) in one week and by 3.2 cents per liter (+1.90%) over the last month. However, over one year, it suffered a decrease of 4.4 cents per liter (-2.50%). However, diesel remains a widely preferred choice among long-distance drivers due to its superior fuel efficiency.
6. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
LPG, often used for its economic and environmental benefits, is now at €1.020/l, with an increase of 1.9 cents per liter (+1.90%) over one week and 1.1 cents per liter (+ 1.10%) this month, in addition to an increase of 2.5 cents per liter (+2.50%) over the year. This upward trend reflects growing interest as a cleaner and potentially more stable alternative against price fluctuations in gasoline or diesel.
Conclusion
Fuel prices are subject to many influences, from fluctuations in crude oil prices to tax changes and seasonal variations in demand. French motorists must therefore remain attentive to changes in prices to adapt their consumption accordingly. Alternatives such as BioEthanol E85 or LPG also show that it is possible to reduce costs while having a lower impact on the environment. These price movements invite drivers to consider broader choices beyond traditional fuels, based on their specific transportation needs and ecological impact.
