L’Ufip a annoncé une augmentation de 4 à 6 centimes par litre d’essence dès le 1er janvier
Le prix du litre de gazole s'élevait en moyenne au vendredi 21 novembre à 1,697 euro le litre, celui du super SP95-E10 à 1,707 euro le litre, selon le dernier relevé du ministère de la Transition écologique.

Overview

  • Oils industry group Ufip estimates a 4–6 cent increase at the pump from 1 January as the CEE component rises from about €0.11 to €0.15–€0.17 per liter.
  • The Economy Ministry’s decree lifts the CEE envelope from roughly €6 billion in 2025 to more than €8 billion in 2026, with obligations applying to all energy sold next year.
  • Fuel retail prices are unregulated and distributors’ net margins are about 1–2 cents per liter, making pass‑through likely; TotalEnergies’ chief also cited a 4–5 cent rise.
  • A drop in crude this year (about €76 to €55 per barrel) has already shaved roughly 6 cents off SP95, which could offset the CEE effect depending on early‑2026 market moves.
  • Engie will revise Passerelle gas contracts on 1 January with an average annual budget increase of about 3.5% for those customers, as a motorists’ group denounces the change and Bercy signals vigilance.
