Always higher. Fuel prices have been rising steadily for weeks at gas stations. Diesel thus reached a new all-time high last week, being sold on average at
1.55 euro per liter. The SP95 for its part flows at 1.65 euros on average, a level which almost equals its peak in 2012 (1.66 euros). Compared to October 2020, a full (50 liters) costs around 15 euros more. And the bill shouldn’t fall, the price of oil
always staying high.
What feed the fear of a decline in purchasing power, but also of a possible new social movement such as that of “yellow vests”. If the government has not yet taken concrete measures, the idea of a “fuel check” intended for the poorest households seems to be gaining ground. “There will be short-term action,” Emmanuel Macron said on Friday. Waiting for, 20 minutes would like to give you the floor on this subject.
Have you changed your behavior with the rising prices at the pump? Are you trying to take your vehicle less? Are you planning to change your mode of transport (carpooling, electric bicycle) in the short term? Do you think that this price increase can accelerate the energy transition (less trips, more electric vehicles)?
