France Fuel Prices Edge Down but Stay High After Hormuz Closure

Targeted relief leaves many drivers still paying about €2 per litre.

Overview

  • National averages dipped week over week, with diesel at €2.167 per litre and SP95 E10 at €1.971.
  • About 407 stations reported at least one fuel out of stock, roughly 3% of sites, with Total the most affected at 286 locations.
  • The government confirmed a 20‑cent‑per‑litre discount for heavy road users that runs until June.
  • TotalEnergies capped SP95 and SP98 at €1.99 in its four Aubagne stations through the end of April.
  • Prices vary by location, with some supermarkets in Hauts‑de‑France below €2 while an Aubagne Esso listed SP95 at €2.00 and diesel at €2.32 as drivers voiced frustration.
