Fuel Prices in France Drop to Lowest Levels Since Autumn 2024
Diesel and SP95-E10 gasoline prices fall by three cents per liter, driven by declining global oil prices and economic factors.
- Diesel now averages 1.63 euros per liter, and SP95-E10 gasoline is priced at 1.68 euros per liter, marking the lowest levels since September 2024.
- The decline corresponds to a stabilization of Brent crude oil prices at $70 per barrel, significantly lower than the $120 highs during the 2022 Ukraine crisis.
- OPEC has announced a slight production increase of 130,000 barrels per day starting April 1, 2025, which may sustain the downward trend.
- Economic factors such as a strong euro and slowing growth in China have reduced global demand, contributing to the price drop.
- Experts predict further price reductions but caution that pre-2020 levels are unlikely due to inflation and fiscal policies.
