Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's Fuel crisis in France: drop in sales and price tensions.

    Gazole : des baisses de prix dès dimanche !

    La baisse très attendue du prix du gazole entrera en vigueur le 1er novembre, jusqu'à 18 centimes par litre, grâce au déstockage de dix millions de barils conservés dans les stocks stratégiques. Ce carburant va être vendu aux distributeurs trois à quatre fois moins cher au tarif actuel du marché. Dès qu'ils signent le contrat de vente, ils sont obligés de diminuer les prix à la pompe. Les petites stations pourraient être éligible à des prêts à taux zéro pour les aider à répercuter cette baisse.

    Taxes sur l'essence: "Nos ministres sont déconnectés de la réalité", fustige Manon Aubry, députée européenne La France Insoumise

    Dès le 1er novembre, le prix du gazole devrait diminuer de 12 à 18 centimes par litre, grâce au déstockage de 10 millions de barils annoncé par le gouvernement. Une baisse attendue par les automobilistes. Les consommateurs d’essence, eux, ne devraient pas bénéficier de cette mesure.
